Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Priština International Airport (Pristina)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides premium views of major European urban centers including a clear perspective of Berlin's center upon departure and the majestic Danube River winding through Budapest.
Berlin Center
Direct views of the TV Tower and the historical Spree river bend during initial climb.
Saxon Switzerland
Dramatic sandstone cliffs and the deep Elbe river valley near the German-Czech border.
Prague Skyline
The city of a hundred spires is often visible as you transition from German to Czech airspace.
Danube Bend
A stunning horseshoe curve in the river north of Budapest near Visegrad.
Budapest
An unmatched aerial view of the Hungarian Parliament Building and the iconic Chain Bridge.
Kopaonik Mountains
Rugged peaks of the central Serbian highlands as you begin your descent toward Kosovo.
Choose the left side for morning flights to benefit from soft lighting on the landscape. This side is superior for urban photography, especially when passing over Budapest. Keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes into the flight for the best river views.
Potsdam Palaces
View of the Sanssouci Palace and the surrounding Prussian gardens shortly after takeoff.
Ore Mountains
Dense forested ridges forming the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Lake Balaton
The milky-turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake.
Dinaric Alps
The eastern edges of the limestone mountain chain stretching toward the Adriatic.
Ibar River Valley
Winding river paths through deep valleys as you enter northern Kosovo.
Sharr Mountains
High-altitude peaks on the horizon during the final approach into Pristina.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers better views of natural landscapes and lakes rather than cities. Watch for the distinct turquoise color of Lake Balaton roughly midway through the journey.
