AYTEIN

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of coastal scenery and mountain ranges, providing views of the Mediterranean coastline, the Balkan peaks, and distant glimpses of the Alps as you move toward Northwest Europe.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Turquoise Coast

Breathtaking views of the Antalya coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

A mosaic of Greek and Turkish islands visible as the flight crosses the Aegean toward the Balkan Peninsula.

🏔️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged limestone peaks and karst landscapes of Montenegro, Bosnia, and Croatia during the mid-flight transit.

❄️

Central Alps

On clear days, the southern horizon reveals the snow-capped silhouettes of the Austrian and Swiss Alps.

🏰

Rhine River Valley

Winding river views and the industrial heartland of Western Germany as you approach the Benelux region.

Book a window seat on the left for late afternoon flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the European continent. Ensure your camera is ready immediately after takeoff from AYT, as the transition from the Taurus mountains to the Mediterranean sea is very photogenic. In winter, this side receives more direct sunlight, making it warmer but potentially glary.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic views of the massive limestone peaks rising sharply behind Antalya as the plane climbs.

🏙️

Balkan Cities

Potential views of Sofia or Belgrade depending on the specific air corridor assigned for the day.

💧

The Danube River

The 'Blue Danube' snaking through the Great Hungarian Plain and the Austrian lowlands.

🏢

Frankfurt Skyline

Distinctive high-rise buildings of Germany's financial hub are often visible during the descent phase.

🏠

Dutch Polders

The iconic geometric layout of the Netherlands' reclaimed land and green fields during the approach to EIN.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers better views of the Taurus mountains' interior. Keep an eye out for the 'Danube Bend' north of Budapest, a significant geographic landmark. During the descent into Eindhoven, this side often provides a clearer view of the airport's surrounding woodlands and modern urban planning.
