TGD → LJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Podgorica Airport (Podgorica) to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Adriatic coastline, including the dramatic Bay of Kotor and the intricate network of Croatian islands.
Bay of Kotor
Shortly after takeoff, look down for the winding, fjord-like bay surrounded by limestone cliffs.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Spectacular views of islands like Brač, Hvar, and Korčula dotting the turquoise Adriatic Sea.
Zadar Archipelago
A dense cluster of small islands and reefs visible as the plane heads northwest towards Slovenia.
Kvarner Gulf
The large islands of Krk and Cres are often visible as you transition from the coast toward the mainland.
Ljubljana City
On the final approach, the red roofs of the Slovenian capital and the Ljubljanica river come into view.
For the best experience, sit on the left to capture the transition from the Montenegrin coast to the Croatian islands. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun is behind you, illuminating the coastline. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure from TGD for the Bay of Kotor.
Durmitor National Park
The rugged, glaciated peaks of northern Montenegro are visible shortly after departure.
Dinaric Alps
Continuous views of the wild, forested mountain ranges of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
Zagreb Area
Depending on the flight path, the Croatian capital may be visible in the distance to the northeast.
Kamnik–Savinja Alps
As you descend into LJU, these jagged limestone peaks provide a dramatic backdrop to the north.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers who enjoy the rugged textures of the Balkan interior. Look out for the snow-capped peaks in winter and early spring. Afternoon flights provide a warm glow on the Dinaric mountain faces, making for excellent photography of the terrain's relief.
