Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Milas Bodrum International Airport (Bodrum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular sequence of European landscapes, from the snow-capped High Alps to the jagged Adriatic coastline and the turquoise waters of the Aegean archipelago.
Black Forest
Fly over the dense, dark canopies of southwestern Germany's most famous woodland.
The High Alps
Prime views of the dramatic, snow-covered ridges of the Swiss and Austrian mountain ranges.
Adriatic Coast
Follow the stunning white-rock coastline and crystal waters of Croatia and Montenegro.
Greek Islands
Breathtaking views of the Aegean islands, including the Dodecanese chain, during the descent.
Bodrum Peninsula
A final look at the turquoise bays and white-washed architecture of the Turkish Riviera.
The right side is essential for sunset views on evening flights. For the best experience, look out roughly 40 minutes before landing to see the stunning transition from the Balkan coast to the Greek islands. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Alps is not obstructed by the engine.
Dutch Polders
Clear views of the reclaimed land and intricate canal systems surrounding Amsterdam Schiphol.
Eastern Alps
Distant but majestic views of the Austrian Alpine peaks stretching toward the horizon.
Balkan Interior
Rugged and lush green mountain ranges of Serbia and Bulgaria throughout the mid-flight.
MuΔla Countryside
The final descent offers views of the rolling hills and agricultural valleys of the Turkish mainland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better visibility for photography of the Balkan mountains. It is also the side for better views of the Turkish interior during the landing pattern.
