Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Balkans, passing over or near the Pindus Mountains (Greece-Albania border), the Dinaric Alps (Albania-Serbia), and the Carpathian foothills before reaching the Slovak plains. The Danube River may be visible in its lower reaches near the Serbia-Hungary border during the descent phase. Major cities visible along the route include Thessaloniki (Greece) and Belgrade (Serbia) depending on exact routing.
