Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Aegean coastline, the rugged Dalmatian coast, and the dramatic peaks of the Swiss Alps during the descent into Basel.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Izmir Gulf and Peninsula

Aerial view of the Aegean coast and the Karaburun Peninsula shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

The intricate network of islands and deep blue waters along the Croatian coastline.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

A distant view of Venice and the surrounding marshes as the plane crosses the Adriatic.

🏔️

The High Alps

Close-up views of the snow-capped Swiss Alps, including the Jungfrau region peaks.

💧

Lake Lucerne

The complex, multi-armed blue lake nestled among the mountains during the descent.

Sit on the left for the best mountain panoramas. If flying in the morning, the sun will be behind you or to the left, illuminating the Adriatic coast perfectly. During winter, look for the striking contrast of snow on the Dinaric Alps and the Swiss peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Expansive views of the rolling green and rocky ranges of Bulgaria and Serbia.

🏙️

Belgrade

The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers may be visible if the flight path tracks north.

🛶

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is often visible to the north while crossing the Po Valley.

🌲

The Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests of southern Germany appearing just before landing.

⛴️

Rhine River

The winding river marking the border between France, Germany, and Switzerland near the airport.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Balkan plains to the start of the Alpine foothills. Keep your camera ready as you approach BSL for a view of the tri-border area.
