Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular panoramic views of the Alpine chain, including the high peaks of Austria and Slovenia, before following the Sava River directly into Belgrade.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range and the rugged peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps.
Julian Alps
Views of Triglav and the dramatic limestone formations of the Slovenian mountain ranges.
Zagreb
The Croatian capital is often clearly visible as the flight path parallels the A3 motorway toward Serbia.
Sava River Meanders
Watch the Sava river snake through the landscape, acting as a natural guide all the way to Belgrade.
New Belgrade Skyline
During the final approach into BEG, the brutalist architecture and modern towers of New Belgrade are prominent.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers; the Alps remain in view for a significant portion of the cruise. For the best photography, morning flights provide front-lighting on the peaks. Upon arrival in Belgrade, this side often catches the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers if landing from the west.
Munich and Bavaria
Clear views of the Bavarian capital and the distinctive Allianz Arena if the flight path stays north.
Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large lake features the Herrenchiemsee Palace on one of its islands.
Vienna Basin
As you transition toward Hungary, the sprawling outskirts of Vienna are often visible to the northeast.
Pannonian Basin
The landscape transforms into the vast, flat, and colorful agricultural patchwork of the Hungarian plains.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It provides a better view of the Danube river's path as it winds toward the Serbian border. Look for the geometric patterns of Vojvodina's farmland during the descent.
