Left Side of the Plane

Prokletije Mountains
Also known as the Accursed Mountains, these sharp karst peaks offer a dramatic backdrop immediately after departing Pristina.
Dinaric Alps
The flight path traverses the spine of these limestone giants, providing endless views of deep valleys and rocky ridges through Bosnia and Croatia.
Lake Balaton
As you cross into Hungary, the elongated, turquoise-blue waters of Central Europe's largest lake are clearly visible to the west.
Vienna Woods
The forested highlands of the Wienerwald provide a scenic green carpet during the final approach into Vienna International Airport.
For the best photographic lighting of the mountains, choose a morning flight. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare. Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when capturing the Accursed Mountains early in the flight.

Pannonian Basin
Enjoy views of the vast, flat agricultural heartland of Central Europe, characterized by colorful geometric crop patterns.
Danube River
Frequent sightings of the winding Danube as it snakes through the Serbian and Hungarian plains toward Vienna.
Lake Neusiedl
A massive, shallow steppe lake on the border of Austria and Hungary, easily identifiable by its unique reed belts.
Bratislava View
On the final approach from the east, you can often spot the castle and bridges of the Slovakian capital just across the border.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the plane, providing soft lighting for the Pannonian landscape. Watch for the distinctive reed-filled edges of Lake Neusiedl about 15 minutes before landing.
