The right side is highly recommended for the landing phase; flights usually approach Belgrade from the west, providing an incredible view of the city center and the river confluence. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, illuminating the Julian Alps perfectly for photography. Ensure you look out about 15 minutes before landing to catch the Zagreb skyline.

Sit ahead of the wing to ensure unobstructed views of the alpine lakes.
