Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
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.
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.
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.
