AYTHAJ

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of the rugged Taurus Mountains upon takeoff, the shimmering waters of the Aegean, and views of the distant Alpine ridges as you cross Central Europe.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep canyons visible immediately after takeoff from Antalya.

🌊

Aegean Coastline

Bird's-eye view of the Turkish Riviera and scattered Greek islands like Samos and Chios.

🏙️

Belgrade Cityscape

The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the Serbian capital often appears clearly.

💧

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, identifiable by its distinct turquoise hue.

🏔️

Distant Alpine Chain

On clear days, the northern fringes of the Austrian Alps are visible on the southern horizon.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The highest mountain range in Northern Germany appearing just before the descent into Hannover.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Taurus range at departure. During daytime flights heading northwest, this side avoids the harshest direct glare of the sun in the afternoon, making it easier to spot the glint of Lake Balaton and the Belgrade river confluence.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏜️

Anatolian Plateau

The high-altitude interior of Turkey featuring rolling hills and agricultural patterns.

🏢

Sofia Skyline

The Bulgarian capital nestled against the massive Vitosha Mountain base.

🏞️

Danube Bend

A stunning curve in the Danube river as it flows through the mountains north of Budapest.

🏰

Prague Environs

The red-roofed suburban sprawl and Vltava river valley as the flight enters German airspace.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Expansive green canopies and rolling hills characteristic of central Germany.

Choose the right side if you are flying in the early morning to capture the sunrise over the Balkan mountains. This side provides excellent views of Sofia and the winding Danube, though be prepared for some glare during mid-day flights.
