Search flights from STR to SJJ
Swabian Jura
The flight begins with views of the unique limestone plateaus and escarpments of Southwest Germany.
Hohe Tauern Peaks
Spot the snow-capped Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain, standing prominently in the distance.
Julian Alps
Breathtaking views of Mt. Triglav and the dramatic, sharp limestone ridges of Slovenia.
Sarajevo Olympic Mountains
During the descent, get a close-up look at Bjelašnica and Igman, hosts of the 1984 Winter Olympics.
Ilidža District
Just before touchdown, view the sprawling suburbs and the source of the Bosna River at the foot of the mountains.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, book a seat behind the wing to capture the Dinaric Alps against the horizon. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of Bjelašnica are stunning. Note that the approach into Sarajevo is notoriously scenic but can be bumpy due to mountain winds—keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes.

Ulm Minster
Look down shortly after takeoff to see the world's tallest church spire rising from the German landscape.
Northern Limestone Alps
Spectacular views of the rugged peaks bordering Germany and Austria, including the Berchtesgaden region.
Zagreb Panoramas
A clear view of the Croatian capital, its red-roofed historic center, and the winding Sava River.
Vrbas River Valley
The transition into Bosnia features deep green canyons and the winding turquoise waters of the Vrbas.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is better for spotting the urban layout of Zagreb and the northern Bosnian plains. Ensure your window is clear for the descent, as the aircraft often banks left to align with the Sarajevo valley.
