Which side of the plane to sit from Skopje Alexander the Great Airport (Skopje) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of major European landmarks, including the stunning Danube river bend near Budapest and the dramatic, jagged peaks of the High Tatra Mountains.
Belgrade Confluence
The meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers is clearly visible as the flight traverses Serbia.
Budapest & Danube
A spectacular view of the Hungarian Parliament and the winding Danube River as it flows through the heart of the city.
High Tatra Mountains
The highest range of the Carpathians on the Polish-Slovak border, featuring snow-capped peaks most of the year.
Southern Baltic Coast
The transition from the Polish or German mainland to the open waters of the Baltic Sea before reaching Sweden.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep a close watch roughly 45 minutes into the flight for the best views of Budapest. During winter, this side provides the most consistent views of snow-covered mountain ranges in Slovakia.
Šar Mountains
Rugged alpine scenery immediately after departure from Skopje, marking the border with Kosovo.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, identifiable by its distinct long, narrow turquoise shape in Hungary.
Prague Panorama
Depending on the specific airway, the historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' may be visible during mid-cruise.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge-tunnel system connecting Copenhagen and Malmö, visible during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. It is also the preferred side for viewing the Danish coastline and Copenhagen's Amager island during the approach into Malmö Sturup.
