Which side of the plane to sit from Adnan Menderes International Airport (Izmir) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?

The Dardanelles
The strategic waterway of Canakkale, marking the boundary between the European and Asian continents.
The Blue Danube
Multiple crossings of Europe's second-longest river as it winds through the Pannonian Basin.
Budapest Cityscape
A clear view of the Hungarian Parliament and the historic bridges connecting Buda and Pest.
The Ruhr Valley
The dense, fascinating industrial landscape and urban sprawl of Western Germany's heartland.
Dutch Polders
The geometric perfection of reclaimed land and intricate canal systems during the final descent into Schiphol.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best experience, choose a seat well ahead of the wing to see the Danube's 'U-turn' north of Budapest. During the descent into AMS, this side often offers a better view of the North Sea coastline if the plane uses the Polderbaan (18R) runway.

Northern Aegean Islands
Aerial views of Samothrace and the rugged coastline of the Thracian Sea shortly after takeoff.
The Balkan Range
Extensive views of the snow-capped Rila and Pirin mountain massifs in Bulgaria.
The Austrian Alps
On clear days, the jagged southern horizon showcases the distant, high-altitude peaks of the Alps.
Frankfurt Skyline
View of the Main River and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Germany's financial center.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. This side is also better for catching the golden hour glow over the Belgian and Dutch borders during late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the Rhine River's silver ribbon as you approach the Netherlands.
