AYTHAM

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Antalya coastline upon departure and superior views of the rugged Balkan terrain and the distant Alps during the mid-flight transit.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Antalya Coastline

Breathtaking views of the turquoise Mediterranean and the cliffs of Antalya immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Taurus Mountains

Jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Turkish highlands during the initial climb.

🇷🇸

Balkan Ranges

Cross over the rugged mountainous terrain of Bulgaria and Serbia as you head northwest.

🌊

Danube River

Panoramic views of the winding Danube River and the city of Budapest depending on the specific air corridor.

⛰️

Ore Mountains

The natural mountainous border between the Czech Republic and Germany, often snow-capped in winter.

🏙️

Hamburg Approach

Excellent views of the Alster lakes and the city center if the flight approaches from the south.

Book an 'A' window seat for the best views. On morning flights, the left side remains in the shade, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Mediterranean and Balkan landscapes. During the descent into HAM, look for the distinctive Elbphilharmonie building.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Central Taurus Range

Views of the high-altitude plateaus and the more arid side of the Turkish interior.

🌉

Istanbul Glimpse

On more easterly routes, a distant view of the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus strait is possible.

🌾

Pannonian Basin

The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Hungarian plains stretching toward the horizon.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

Dense, dark green forests along the border regions of Central Europe and Germany.

🛶

Elbe River Valley

The plane often follows the path of the Elbe river as it nears the city of Hamburg.

⚓

Port of Hamburg

Incredible views of the massive container terminals and cranes during the final landing sequence.

Choose an 'F' window seat. If the flight path passes near Istanbul, this side offers the best chance to see the metropolitan area. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare and necessitate closing the window shade.
