Which side of the plane to sit from Priština International Airport (Pristina) to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Dinaric Alps and the distant Adriatic Sea coastline throughout most of the flight path.
Prokletije Massif
Known as the Accursed Mountains, these rugged peaks are visible shortly after takeoff from Pristina.
Dinaric Alps
A continuous chain of dramatic limestone peaks stretching through Montenegro and Bosnia.
Adriatic Horizon
On clear days, the shimmering blue of the sea and distant Croatian islands appear on the horizon to the west.
Gorski Kotar
Dense, mountainous forest regions providing a deep green landscape as you enter Croatian airspace.
Ljubljana Marshes
A unique wetland landscape and UNESCO site visible during the final descent into the Ljubljana basin.
This side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the mountain shadows. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the highest jagged peaks. In winter, the snow-capped Dinaric range is exceptionally photogenic.
Kopaonik Mountains
Large mountain massif and major national park visible to the northeast during the initial climb.
Drina River Valley
The winding emerald waters of the Drina carving through deep canyons along the border regions.
Zagreb Vista
Aerial view of the Croatian capital's urban sprawl as the flight tracks toward the Slovenian border.
Sava River Plain
Vast agricultural patterns and river bends following the path of the Sava through central Croatia.
Kamnik-Savinja Alps
Dramatic mountain backdrop to the north of the airport during the final approach into Ljubljana.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to ensure the sun is behind the aircraft, providing the best lighting for the Sava valley. During the final descent, watch for small medieval castles and churches perched on the Slovenian hillsides.
