Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior visual experience, starting with the sweeping views of the Turquoise Coast, followed by the jagged peaks of the Balkan Mountains and a distant but often clear panorama of the Eastern Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Antalya Bay

Breathtaking views of the turquoise Mediterranean waters and Konyaaltı Beach during the initial climb.

🏔️

Rila Mountains

The highest mountain range of the Balkans, featuring the snow-capped peak of Musala in Bulgaria.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

On clear days, the distant northern fringe of the Alps provides a stunning horizon as you enter Central Europe.

🏰

Nuremberg Cityscape

A clear view of the historic Bavarian city and the winding Pegnitz River as the flight turns north.

🌲

Hessian Highlands

The dense, rolling green forests of central Germany as you begin your final descent into Kassel.

For the best experience, choose a seat toward the front of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. Morning flights are ideal on the left side to keep the sun behind you, minimizing window glare when photographing the Balkan ranges. Keep your camera ready about 75 minutes into the flight for the best mountain vistas.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Taurus Mountains

The rugged limestone peaks of the Western Taurus range immediately north of Antalya.

💧

Lake Eğirdir

The striking turquoise and blue hues of Turkey's fourth-largest lake, nestled among mountains.

🌊

The Danube

The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through the plains of Serbia and Hungary.

🌆

Regensburg

The historic UNESCO-listed medieval city located at the northernmost point of the Danube River.

🍃

Thuringian Forest

A vast expanse of deep green forest hills that mark the approach into the Kassel-Calden region.

The right side is excellent for inland geography. Look out within the first 15 minutes to spot the Turkish Lake District. If landing towards the south at KSF, you might catch a glimpse of the Hercules monument in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, so stay alert during the landing gear deployment.
