Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular progression from the towering Taurus Mountains in Turkey across the rugged Dinaric Alps of the Balkans, concluding with potential views of the English Cotswolds and Bristol city center during the descent.

πŸ”οΈ

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Toros Dağları rising sharply from the Antalya coastline.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, karst mountain range stretching across the Balkans, offering a textured and wild landscape.

❄️

Central Alps

Depending on the specific airway, distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps to the north.

πŸ—Ό

Paris Basin

The vast, fertile plains of northern France and the distant sprawl of the Parisian metropolitan area.

🌳

The Cotswolds

Classic English countryside featuring honey-colored stone villages and rolling green hills during the descent into Bristol.

The right side is the prime choice for mountain lovers, offering a continuous chain of peaks from Turkey to Central Europe. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left, leaving the right side in soft, clear light for photography. Look out for the city of Bristol and the Clifton Suspension Bridge if landing on Runway 27.

Loire Valley

The winding Loire River in France, known for its historic chateaux and lush vineyard landscapes.

πŸŒ‰

Severn Estuary

A clear view of the massive tidal range of the Severn and the iconic bridges connecting England and Wales.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility of the Mediterranean and Adriatic coasts. This side is also superior for spotting the Mendip Hills and the Bristol Channel during the final approach to Runway 27.
