ล ar Mountains
Immediately after takeoff, view the massive peaks forming the natural border between North Macedonia and Kosovo.
Accursed Mountains
The Prokletije range offers jagged limestone peaks and deep glacial valleys as you fly over the Montenegro border region.
Sarajevo Valley
The historic capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina is often visible nestled between the Dinaric Alps.
Vrbas River
Follow the winding turquoise waters of the Vrbas river canyon as it cuts through the Bosnian mountains.
Southern Zagreb
During the final descent, get a clear view of the New Zagreb districts and the Bundek park area.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for the best views of the Accursed Mountains about 15 minutes into the flight. Morning flights on this side avoid the harshest sun glare, making it easier to spot the turquoise rivers in the Bosnian valleys. Watch for the Olympic mountains of Jahorina and Bjelaลกnica near Sarajevo.

A beautiful mountain range rising directly north of Skopje visible during the initial ascent phase.
South Morava Valley

Tuzla Region
Identify the industrial landscape and urban sprawl of the northeastern Bosnian hub.
Sava River Meanders
The wide, winding Sava River marks the border between Bosnia and Croatia, leading toward Zagreb.
Slavonian Plains
The transition into Croatia features the vast, flat, and colorful patchwork fields of the Slavonia region.
The right side is ideal for seeing the transition from Balkan highlands to the Pannonian Basin. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, which is better for photography. Keep an eye out for the expansive Sava River floodplains which are particularly striking in the spring or after heavy rainfall.
