Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Priština International Airport (Pristina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of the high Swiss Alps, distant glimpses of the shimmering Adriatic coastline, and a front-row seat to the dramatic Accursed Mountains (Prokletije) during the descent into Pristina.
Lake Zurich
Immediate views of the 'Gold Coast' and the long stretch of the lake during the initial climb.
Engadin Massif
Breathtaking vistas of the Piz Bernina and the high-altitude glaciers of the Graubünden region.
Adriatic Horizon
On clear days, the turquoise fringe of the Croatian coast and the islands of Dalmatia are visible in the distance.
Durmitor National Park
The deep canyons and dramatic karst landscape of Montenegro's UNESCO-listed mountain range.
Accursed Mountains
The jagged, wild peaks of the Prokletije range on the border of Montenegro and Kosovo during the final descent.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic terrain. For the best photography, opt for an afternoon flight when the sun is lower in the west, illuminating the 'Accursed Mountains' and the Swiss Alps with a golden hue. In winter, this side provides incredible views of the snow-covered Dinaric Alps through Montenegro.
Glarus Alps
Spectacular views of the Todi and the glaciated peaks of Eastern Switzerland shortly after take-off.
Walensee
The deep blue waters of Lake Walen flanked by the dramatic Churfirsten mountain range.
Julian Alps
Aerial perspective of Slovenia's rugged limestone summits, including the area around Mount Triglav.
Niš Valley
The expanding valleys of Southern Serbia visible as the flight path moves toward the Kosovo border.
Sit on the left for better lighting on morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the deep green forests of the Balkans and the sprawling river systems of the Serbian interior. Keep an eye out for the distinctive limestone plateaus as you cross the Slovenian-Croatian border.
