Which side of the plane to sit from Priština International Airport (Pristina) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent and dramatic sequence of landscape changes, featuring the rugged Dinaric Alps and a clearer view of the high Austrian Alpine peaks.
Dinaric Alps
Stunning karst formations and limestone peaks across Montenegro and Bosnia shortly after departure.
Adriatic Glimpses
Distant views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and the scattered islands of the Croatian coast.
Hohe Tauern
High-altitude views of the Austrian Alps including some of the region's most prominent glaciers.
Munich Metro Area
Look for the Allianz Arena and the sprawling urban layout of the Bavarian capital.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost range in Germany, featuring the Brocken summit and thick spruce forests.
Frankfurt Hub
On specific flight paths, you can spot the massive infrastructure of one of Europe's busiest airports.
The left side is superior for mountain photography. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alpine peaks. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Chiemsee lake as you cross into Germany.
Prokletije Range
The 'Accursed Mountains' on the border of Kosovo and Albania offer a dramatic start to the journey.
Danube River
Occasional sightings of the winding Danube as the route crosses into Central Europe.
Vienna Basin
On clear days, the distant skyline of the Austrian capital and the surrounding vineyards are visible.
Leipzig
Views of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the industrial history of eastern Germany.
Lower Saxony Plains
The landscape flattens into a patchwork of agricultural fields as you approach Hannover.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset reflections off the rivers and lakes of Central Germany. It also provides a better perspective of the rolling hills of the Thuringian Forest. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the Balkan highlands to the European plains.
