Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the high Alpine crests, specifically the Hohe Tauern in Austria and the dramatic Julian Alps in Slovenia.
Search flights from STR to ZAG
Hohe Tauern Range
Breathtaking views of the Grossglockner, the highest peak in Austria, often snow-capped year-round.
Julian Alps
Dramatic limestone peaks including Mount Triglav, the national symbol of Slovenia.
Ljubljana
The Slovenian capital nestled in a mountain basin, visible just before the final descent.
Sava River Valley
Follow the turquoise waters of the Sava river as it snakes through the mountains toward Zagreb.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. For the best lighting on the peaks, choose an afternoon flight. Keep a close eye out roughly 30-40 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic glacier views over Austria.

Ulm Minster
Spot the world's tallest church spire and the Danube River shortly after departure.
Lake Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' with its two famous islands, Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee.
Salzburg
Excellent views of Mozart's birthplace and the Hohensalzburg Fortress against the mountain backdrop.
Styrian Alps
The lush, green rolling mountains of southern Austria as the plane heads toward the Balkans.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side is superior for spotting major Bavarian cities and the transition from the flat plains to the northern Alpine edge.
