Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Priština International Airport (Pristina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the snowy peaks of the Austrian Alps shortly after takeoff and the rugged Dinaric and Prokletije mountain ranges during the descent into Kosovo.
Styrian Alps
The eastern edges of the Alps provide a dramatic backdrop of limestone peaks south of Vienna.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged, limestone mountain chains stretching through Bosnia and Montenegro, visible during mid-flight.
Durmitor National Park
On clear days, the high peaks and deep canyons of Northern Montenegro are visible to the southwest.
Prokletije Mountains
Also known as the Accursed Mountains, these jagged peaks mark the border between Montenegro, Albania, and Kosovo.
Pristina Skyline
As the plane turns for its final approach, you will often get a panoramic view of the capital city of Kosovo.
The right side is unparalleled for mountain lovers. During winter months, the snow-capped Prokletije range is a highlight. Choose this side for afternoon flights to enjoy the 'golden hour' lighting over the Balkan peaks.
Lake Neusiedl
A massive, shallow steppe lake on the Austria-Hungary border, visible shortly after departing Vienna.
Pannonian Basin
Vast stretches of fertile agricultural plains extending across Hungary and Northern Serbia.
Danube River
Glancing views of Europe's second-longest river as it winds through the Serbian plains.
Sumadija Region
The rolling hills and dense forests of central Serbia, characterized by small villages and vineyards.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best view of the water bodies. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Niš during the final third of the journey.
