Which side of the plane to sit from Skopje Alexander the Great Airport (Skopje) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of the Dinaric and Austrian Alps, followed by the scenic Rhine valley and the historic Black Forest.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged karst mountain formations stretching across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina shortly after takeoff.
Austrian Alps
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped peaks in the Hohe Tauern range during the mid-flight cruise.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of Southwest Germany's most famous highland region.
Rhine River Valley
The winding path of the Rhine, dotted with historic castles and terraced vineyards between Mainz and Bonn.
Cologne Skyline
A chance to spot the twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral if the flight path follows the typical northwestern corridor.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for the clearest views of the mountains. The most impressive Alpine scenery occurs approximately 45-60 minutes after departure. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side to minimize sun glare, which usually comes from the south.
Belgrade
A clear view of the Serbian capital where the Sava and Danube rivers meet at the Kalemegdan Fortress.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Central Europe, showcasing intricate patterns of farmland.
Frankfurt Airport
One of Europe's busiest aviation hubs, often visible as a massive complex of runways and terminals.
Ruhr District
The dense industrial landscape and interconnected cities of Germany's most populated urban area.
Maas River
The sinuous silver ribbon of the Maas as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Netherlands.
This side is excellent for spotting major urban centers and river confluences. If flying at night, the right side offers better views of the brightly lit urban sprawl of the German industrial heartland. Look for the Danube river shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
