Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular sequence of rugged mountain ranges, including the Pindus and Dinaric Alps, alongside a breathtaking view of the Bay of Kotor and the approach into the Danube basin.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Pindus Mountains

The dramatic, jagged peaks of mainland Greece immediately after departure.

โš“

Bay of Kotor

One of the flight's crown jewels, seeing the winding Montenegrin fjord from above.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Dinaric Alps

The rugged limestone mountains stretching across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Zagreb Area

Views of the Croatian capital and the surrounding Sava river valley.

๐Ÿ‡

Styrian Vineyards

Rolling green hills and neat rows of vineyards as the plane enters Austrian airspace.

๐Ÿฆ†

Lake Neusiedl

The vast, shallow steppe lake on the Austro-Hungarian border during the descent.

The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers. About 25 minutes into the flight, watch closely for the Bay of Kotorโ€”it is a brief but unforgettable sight. In the winter months, the snow cover on the Dinaric Alps provides incredible contrast and photography opportunities. On the final approach to VIE, you often get a great view of the Danube river.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Corfu and Paxi

Aerial perspective of the northern Ionian Islands shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

Adriatic Horizon

Endless views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and the distant Italian coastline on clear days.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

Gliding past the stunning Croatian islands like Vis, Korฤula, and Hvar.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Slovenian Alps

Distant views of the Triglav and the snow-capped Julian Alps as you head north.

Sit on the left for the best sunlight in the morning as the sun will be behind you. This side is superior for spotting the intricate patterns of the Croatian islands, particularly during the middle third of the flight. Look for the distinct 'Zlatni Rat' beach on Braฤ if the flight path hugs the coast.
