Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of diverse landscapes, from the rugged Taurus Mountains of Turkey to the high-altitude peaks of the Austrian and German Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Taurus Mountains

The dramatic, snow-dusted crags of the Taurus range along the southern coast of Turkey.

🏺

Balkan Highlands

The dense forests and rugged interior peaks of the Dinaric Alps crossing through Southeast Europe.

❄️

Central Alpine Spine

Spectacular, close-up views of the highest snow-covered peaks in Austria and southern Germany.

🏰

Rhine-Main Valley

The winding river paths and industrial heartlands of Germany as the plane begins its northern descent.

🌷

Dutch Polders

The iconic geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals as you approach Amsterdam.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. For the best photography, aim for a morning departure when the sun illuminates the northern faces of the Alps. During the final 20 minutes of flight, watch for the intricate canal networks and wind turbines that characterize the Dutch landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏖️

Levantine Coast

Clear views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the bustling urban sprawl of Tel Aviv shortly after takeoff.

🇨🇾

Cyprus South Coast

The southern beaches and peninsulas of the island of Cyprus visible against the azure Mediterranean.

🏝️

Greek Islands

A distant but beautiful panorama of the Cyclades and other Aegean islands dotting the sea.

🥨

Bavarian Plains

The structured agricultural landscapes of Southern Germany and the outskirts of Munich.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights, avoiding the direct southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the arid Middle Eastern landscape to the deep blue of the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the island of Cyprus roughly 30-40 minutes into the flight.
