Which side of the plane to sit from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (Tirana) to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea and the dense network of Croatian islands, offering a striking contrast between the deep blue water and white limestone shores.
Adriatic Coastline
Uninterrupted views of the shimmering sea meeting the rugged Balkan coast for the majority of the flight.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of hundreds of islands including Brač, Hvar, and the Kornati National Park's unique formations.
Zadar and Šibenik
Clear views of historic coastal cities and their distinctive terracotta roofs as you track north.
Istrian Peninsula
The heart-shaped peninsula comes into view shortly before the descent towards Slovenia.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography. Look for the 'pearl necklace' effect of the Kornati islands. In winter, the clear air offers visibility all the way to the Italian coast across the water.
Lake Skadar
Visible shortly after takeoff from Tirana, this is the largest lake in Southern Europe.
Prokletije Mountains
Also known as the Accursed Mountains, these sharp, jagged peaks offer a dramatic alpine landscape.
Durmitor National Park
Look for the deep canyons and high limestone plateaus of Montenegro's wild interior.
Kamnik-Savinja Alps
The sharp peaks of the Slovenian Alps provide a stunning backdrop during the final approach into Ljubljana.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights when the setting sun hits the limestone faces of the Dinaric Alps, turning them pink and gold. Keep your eyes peeled for the deep Tara River Canyon if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
