Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the rugged Dinaric Alps, the dramatic peaks of Montenegro, and the majestic Shar Mountains during the descent.

Shar Mountains

A massive, snow-capped ridge that dominates the view as the plane crosses into North Macedonian airspace.

โœ๏ธ

Millennium Cross

The giant cross atop Mount Vodno is often visible on the final approach into Skopje Airport.

This is the premier side for mountain enthusiasts. For sunset flights, this side offers incredible golden-hour lighting over the peaks. In winter, the snow-covered Shar Mountains are a major highlight; ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to see the descent over Mount Vodno.
