AYT â GLA
Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged Balkan Mountains, the heart of Central Europe, and the sweeping entry into the Scottish Lowlands.
Balkan Range
Extensive views of the rugged, forested mountain terrain across Bulgaria and Serbia.
Budapest & Danube
Potential views of the winding Danube River and the Hungarian capital's distinct layout.
Rhine Valley
The industrial and natural heart of Germany, featuring one of Europe's busiest waterways.
North Sea Crossing
The transition from the Dutch coast into the open water before making landfall in England.
Firth of Forth
Views of the iconic Scottish estuaries and the approach toward the Glasgow basin.
The right side provides the best light during afternoon flights. It is particularly good for viewing the complex river systems of Central Europe. During the descent into Glasgow, this side often provides a broader view of the Scottish landscape, including the rolling hills of the Borders and the outskirts of the Central Belt.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys visible immediately after departing Antalya.
Aegean Sea
Distant views of the turquoise coastline and Greek islands during the initial climb.
Southern Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps appear on the horizon.
Parisian Outskirts
Views of the sprawling French countryside and the distant glow of Paris if the route tracks south.
Lake District
The rolling fells and glacial ribbon lakes of Northern England as you cross into the UK.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting the dramatic Taurus range at takeoff and the English Lake District about 30-40 minutes before landing. Keep a look out for the shimmering Adriatic Sea in the distance over the Balkans.
