Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Podgorica Airport (Podgorica)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of the Swiss Alps, the turquoise Adriatic coastline, and a dramatic descent over the Bay of Kotor.
Lake Zurich
Excellent views of the city and the entire length of the lake during departure.
Dolomites
Distant but clear views of the iconic pale jagged peaks of the Italian Alps.
Adriatic Coast
The stunning contrast between the blue sea and the white Croatian islands like Brač and Hvar.
Dubrovnik
Depending on the flight path, the terracotta rooftops of the Old Town are visible during descent.
Bay of Kotor
The dramatic fjord-like entrance to Montenegro, featuring steep mountains meeting the sea.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal enthusiasts. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Adriatic islands. Late afternoon flights offer a spectacular golden hour glow over the Montenegrin coast.
Glarus Alps
Immediately after takeoff, witness the jagged peaks of the Swiss Glarus massif.
Austrian Tyrol
Sweeping views of the snow-covered peaks in the Hohe Tauern and Carinthia regions.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone mountain ranges of Bosnia and Herzegovina and northern Montenegro.
Lake Skadar
Europe's largest bird sanctuary, visible just before touchdown at Podgorica.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and enjoy the crisp shadows over the Alpine glaciers. This side is better for those who prefer continuous mountain scenery over sea views.
