Which side of the plane to sit from Adnan Menderes International Airport (Izmir) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Alps and the turquoise coastlines of the Aegean and Adriatic seas.
Aegean Archipelago
Stunning views of the northern Greek islands like Chios and Lesvos immediately after departure from Izmir.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods stands out prominently as the flight crosses the Greek mainland.
Dalmatian Coastline
From high altitude, you can often see the jagged edges and turquoise waters of the Croatian coast to the southwest.
The Austrian & Swiss Alps
A magnificent panorama of snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys as the flight traverses Central Europe.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies of southwestern Germany become visible as the aircraft begins its descent into Luxembourg.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for the clearest views of the Alps. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun illuminates the southern faces of the mountains. Keep your camera ready approximately 90 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain scenery over Austria and Switzerland.
Belgrade
The Serbian capital is frequently visible at the strategic confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Lake Balaton
The 'Hungarian Sea' is a distinct turquoise landmark that is easily identifiable from cruising altitude.
Salzburg & Alpine Foothills
Views of the historic Austrian city and the rolling green hills leading into the northern limestone Alps.
Bavarian Plateau
The neat, geometric patterns of German agriculture and small traditional villages across the southern plains.
Rhine-Moselle Region
The winding river valleys and vineyard-covered slopes typical of the region just before crossing into Luxembourg.
The right side is perfect for city spotters and geography enthusiasts interested in the Danube river system. During winter months, look for the frozen white surface of Lake Balaton. This side generally experiences less direct glare during morning flights, making it better for photography early in the day.
