Which side of the plane to sit from Sarajevo International Airport (Sarajevo) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the rugged Dinaric Alps, the deep canyons of the Drina River, and the forested mountains of Western Serbia during this short hop.
Olympic Mountains
Excellent views of Trebević, Jahorina, and Bjelašnica, sites of the 1984 Winter Olympics.
Romanija Cliffs
The 'Red Rocks' of the Romanija massif provide a dramatic limestone backdrop shortly after departure.
Drina River
The winding, emerald-colored river that defines the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
Tara National Park
Dense pine forests and steep limestone gorges visible as the flight enters Serbian airspace.
Sumadija Hills
The picturesque, rolling countryside of Central Serbia dotted with red-roofed villages during the descent.
The right side is best for mountain lovers. For the most dramatic lighting on the Drina canyon and Serbian peaks, choose a morning flight. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the deep river valleys.
Sarajevo Valley
Clear views of the historic Miljacka river valley and the dense urban sprawl of the Bosnian capital upon takeoff.
Visoko Valley
Sight of the controversial 'Bosnian Pyramids'—conical hills located just north of Sarajevo.
Industrial Zenica
The industrial heart of Bosnia, characterized by its large steel mills and surrounding rolling hills.
Modrac Lake
A large artificial lake near Tuzla that stands out against the green landscape during mid-flight.
Pannonian Basin
As you approach Belgrade, the mountains give way to the vast, flat agricultural plains of Vojvodina.
Sit on the left if you want to see the city center of Sarajevo immediately after takeoff. If landing toward the east at Belgrade Nikola Tesla, this side provides views of the Danube river bends near the city.
