AYT → BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the turquoise Turkish Riviera, followed by the scattered Greek islands, and concluding with a distant but breathtaking panorama of the Alpine range to the south.
Turkish Riviera
Exquisite views of the Mediterranean coastline and the beaches of Konyaaltı immediately after departure.
Aegean Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of Greek islands including Rhodes and Samos as the flight tracks northwest toward Europe.
The Alps
On clear days, the southern horizon reveals the snow-capped peaks of the Alps as you traverse Central Europe.
Ardennes Forest
The dense, rolling green hills of southeastern Belgium during the initial descent into Brussels.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side provides the best angle for the Aegean coastline and the distant Alpine peaks. During the final approach to BRU, you often get a better view of the suburban sprawl and green belts of Wallonia.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and rugged ridges rising sharply north of Antalya during the initial climb.
The Danube River
Glimpses of Europe's second-longest river winding through the Balkan plains and Central Europe.
Balkan Capitals
Potential views of Sofia or Belgrade depending on the specific air traffic control routing for the day.
Brussels Cityscape
If landing on Runway 01 or 07, the right side often captures a view of the Atomium and the city skyline.
Select the right side if you are particularly interested in the rugged mountain terrain of inland Turkey and the Balkans. On evening flights, this side experiences beautiful sunset colors over the European plains, though landing views depend heavily on the wind direction at Brussels Airport.
