AOEBRU

Which side of the plane to sit from Anadolu Airport (Eskissehir) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers the most dramatic scenery, particularly as the flight path typically skims the northern edge of the Alps, providing breathtaking views of the snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian peaks.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Sea of Marmara

Early in the flight, catch distant views of the maritime gateway between the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

🏔️

The Balkan Range

Fly over the rugged and mountainous terrain of Bulgaria and Serbia.

🏔️

Austrian & Bavarian Alps

Spectacular views of high-altitude peaks and glacial valleys during the middle segment of the journey.

🏙️

Munich Cityscape

The red-tiled roofs of the Bavarian capital and the Allianz Arena are often visible.

🏰

The Rhine Valley

Spot the winding Rhine River and its historic castles as you transit toward Western Europe.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

The dense green rolling hills of southern Belgium as the aircraft begins its final descent.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid obstruction of the Alpine peaks. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the glare, though the lighting on the mountains is superb. Watch the flight map to time your view of the Alps about 90-120 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Black Sea Coast

Potential glimpses of the northern Bulgarian coastline shortly after takeoff.

💧

The Blue Danube

Multiple crossings of Europe's second-longest river through Hungary and Austria.

🎡

Budapest Skyline

Views of the Hungarian Parliament and the historic bridges spanning the Danube.

🌆

Frankfurt Skyline

The high-rise 'Mainhattan' financial district is often visible on the northern horizon.

🐄

Belgian Polders

Intricate patterns of drainage canals and highly organized agriculture during the approach to BRU.

The Right Side is ideal for morning flights as the sun is on the opposite side, providing clear, even lighting for photography. This side offers better views of the major river systems and the urban sprawl of Central German cities. Keep an eye out for the Danube River, which acts as a primary navigational landmark throughout the flight.
