Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning view of Mount Erciyes immediately after takeoff and provides a more direct perspective of the Alps and the Rhine valley during the descent into Germany.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Mount Erciyes

The massive dormant volcano dominates the skyline immediately south of Kayseri airport during takeoff.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Rugged ridges and deep valleys stretching across Bulgaria and Serbia as the flight enters Europe.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Dramatic snow-capped peaks and glaciers visible while transiting through Central European airspace.

🏰

Upper Middle Rhine Valley

Winding river sections dotted with historic castles and vineyards as you approach the destination.

Secure a window seat on the left for the best view of Mt. Erciyes right after departure. On morning flights, the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing soft, shadow-enhancing lighting for the Alpine peaks. Keep an eye out for the Rhine River's distinct bends about 20 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🧂

Tuz Gölü

The immense, shimmering white salt lake of Central Anatolia is often visible shortly after departure.

🌉

Istanbul & Bosphorus

If the route tracks north, you can see the bridges connecting Europe and Asia and the dense urban sprawl.

🌊

Black Sea Coast

The lush green coastline of northern Turkey meeting the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.

🏙️

Ruhr Metropolis

The sprawling industrial and urban landscape of Western Germany during the final approach into DUS.

The right side is ideal for spotting Tuz Gölü and the Bosphorus if the flight path remains northerly. During evening flights, the right side offers spectacular sunset views over the European continent. It also provides a better view of the dense urban lights of the Ruhr region during a night landing.
