Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning turquoise expanse of Lake Balaton and views of the Alpine foothills during the initial climb.
Search flights from VIE to BEG
Alpine Foothills
The snow-capped peaks of the Rax and Schneeberg massifs are visible to the southwest during the climb out of Vienna.
Lake Neusiedl
The large, shallow steppe lake on the border of Austria and Hungary, known for its extensive reed beds.
Lake Balaton
The most iconic sight of the route; Europe's largest freshwater lake with its unique turquoise hue.
Petrovaradin Fortress
The massive 'Gibraltar on the Danube' in Novi Sad, visible just minutes before entering the Belgrade approach pattern.
The right side is the definitive choice for landscape lovers. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of Lake Balaton. In the late afternoon, this side provides spectacular golden hour views of the Pannonian Basin, though the sun may be directly in view during the summer months.

Vienna Skyline
A clear view of the Austrian capital and the Danube Tower shortly after departure from VIE.
Bratislava Panorama
The Slovakian capital is frequently visible to the north as the plane crosses into Hungarian airspace.
Great Hungarian Plain
The vast, geometric patterns of the Alföld region, showcasing Hungary's agricultural heartland.
Kalemegdan Fortress
The historic Belgrade fortress located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers during final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for a better chance of seeing the historic center of Belgrade during the approach to Runway 12. Keep an eye out for the winding Danube river which acts as a constant navigational guide for most of the flight.
