Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for its dramatic views of the Carpathian Mountains and the iconic final approach over the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers in Belgrade.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Moscow Skyline

A distant view of the Moscow International Business Center skyscrapers during the initial climb.

🏔️

Carpathian Mountains

Spectacular views of the Transylvanian Alps with snow-capped peaks visible during winter and spring.

💧

The Danube River

Multiple scenic crossings of the Danube as it winds through Central Europe toward the Balkans.

🏰

Belgrade Fortress

During the final descent into BEG, look for the historic Kalemegdan Fortress at the river confluence.

The right side is essential for seeing the Belgrade city center during the standard approach to Runway 30. In the winter, the Carpathian peaks are exceptionally clear. For sunset flights, this side offers a stunning golden hour over the Pannonian Basin.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🇷🇺

Central Russian Upland

Expansive views of the rolling hills and dense forests of the Russian interior shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Black Sea Glimpses

On the current southern corridor route, the deep blue of the Black Sea is visible to the south.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged, green ridges of the Stara Planina range stretching across the Bulgarian-Serbian border.

🚜

Upper Thracian Plain

Intricate patchworks of agricultural fields in the fertile valleys of the southern Balkans.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is better for observing the vastness of the Russian plains and the southern Balkan topography. Look out for the winding Morava River as you enter Serbian airspace.
