TGD → ZRH
Which side of the plane to sit from Podgorica Airport (Podgorica) to Zürich Airport (Zurich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning combination of the turquoise Adriatic coastline, the dense Dalmatian archipelago, and a scenic approach over Lake Zurich.
Adriatic Coastline
Dramatic views of the limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of the Montenegrin and Croatian coasts.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the scattered islands of Croatia, including Hvar, Brač, and the Kornati National Park.
Istrian Peninsula
The distinct heart-shaped landmass of Istria, often visible as the plane begins its turn toward the Alps.
Swiss Alps Panorama
A sweeping view of the high Alpine peaks and glaciers as the flight enters Swiss airspace from the south.
Lake Zurich
During the final descent, this side typically offers a clear view of the long, narrow lake and the city of Zurich.
Book an early morning or midday flight for the best lighting on the Adriatic coast. Shortly after takeoff from TGD, keep your eyes peeled for the stunning Bay of Kotor. On the final approach into ZRH, the left side usually provides the iconic view of the Zurich city center and the lakeside villas.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged, karst mountain landscapes and deep canyons of northern Montenegro and Bosnia.
Julian Alps
The jagged limestone peaks of Slovenia, including the towering Mount Triglav.
Austrian Tyrol
Vast views of the snow-capped Austrian Central Alps and the deep, green valleys of the Inn region.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee, where the borders of Switzerland, Germany, and Austria converge.
Swiss Plateau
The rolling hills and neat agricultural patterns of northern Switzerland as you approach Zurich.
The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts, offering a more direct view of the jagged interior peaks of the Balkans and the Austrian Alps. In winter, this side is particularly beautiful as it captures the snow-covered slopes of the Dinaric and Julian Alps. Watch for the transition from the grey karst rock of the south to the lush green and white of the high Alps.
