Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Priština International Airport (Pristina)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic landmarks, including a direct view of Lake Constance (Bodensee) and the dramatic core of the Austrian Alps, followed by the rugged peaks of the Kopaonik range on approach.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
Shortly after takeoff from Stuttgart, you get a sprawling view of the third largest lake in Central Europe where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Austrian Alps & Hohe Tauern
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers, including the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, depending on the specific flight corridor.
Ljubljana Basin
As you transition toward the Balkans, the lush green landscapes of Slovenia and its capital city are often visible.
Kopaonik National Park
Deep into the flight, enjoy the dense forests and massive mountain ridges of the largest mountain range in Serbia.
Kosovo Plain
The final descent provides a panorama of the flat, fertile basin of Kosovo surrounded by mountain ranges.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. This side is superior for seeing the blue expanse of Lake Constance early in the trip.
Bavarian & Swiss Alps
Provides a broader, panoramic perspective of the jagged alpine peaks and deep valleys of the northern mountain fringe.
Adriatic Coast (Distant)
On clear days, you can spot the shimmering blue line of the Adriatic Sea along the Croatian coast in the distance.
Dinaric Alps
Fly over the rugged limestone karst landscapes of Bosnia and Montenegro, featuring deep canyons and sharp ridges.
Durmitor National Park
Look down upon the stunning glacial lakes and the deep Tara River Canyon in Montenegro as you enter Kosovo airspace.
Sharr Mountains
During the approach into PRN, the majestic Sharr Mountains on the border with North Macedonia dominate the horizon.
Choose the right side (usually 'F') for late afternoon or sunset flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Balkan mountains. The right side is also better for spotting the unique karst geology of the Dinaric range.
