Which side of the plane to sit from Skopje Alexander the Great Airport (Skopje) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the Adriatic coastline in the distance, the most dramatic peaks of the Dinaric Alps, and a more direct view of the high Swiss and Italian Alpine ranges as the flight progresses northwest.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic views of the rugged limestone peaks across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina shortly after takeoff.
Adriatic Coastline
Distant views of the turquoise waters and the thousands of islands dotting the Croatian coast.
The High Alps
Breathtaking perspectives of the snow-capped peaks of the Dolomites and the Swiss Alps mid-flight.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Vosges Mountains
Rolling forested ridges in Eastern France as the plane descends toward the Benelux region.
Ardennes Forest
Dense woodland and deep river valleys of Southern Belgium during the final approach.
For morning flights, the left side provides excellent lighting without direct sun glare. Watch for the sharp transition from the Balkan mountains to the Alpine peaks about 45-60 minutes into the flight. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Rhine river near the Swiss border for iconic aerial shots.
Belgrade Suburbs
Views of the Serbian landscape and the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers to the north.
Austrian Alps
Glimpses of the Hohe Tauern range and the lush green valleys of southern Austria.
Black Forest
The legendary dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald in Southwestern Germany.
Upper Rhine Valley
The industrial and historic corridor of the Rhine river separating Germany and France.
Luxembourg City
The dramatic cliffs and canyons of one of Europe's most unique capital cities.
Charleroi Basin
The 'Pays Noir' industrial heritage sites and slag heaps visible just before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the 'golden hour' glow over the German forests. During winter, the snow cover on the Black Forest provides a stark, beautiful contrast. Look for the distinct geometric patterns of European farmland as you enter Belgian airspace.
