Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning turquoise waters of the Mediterranean upon departure, the dramatic island-speckled Adriatic coastline during cruise, and a breathtaking panorama of the Eastern Alps during the descent into Austria.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Turquoise Coast

Aerial views of the Gulf of Antalya and the pristine Mediterranean shoreline immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A spectacular view of the Croatian islands, including Hvar and Brač, contrasted against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Julian Alps

As the flight crosses into Slovenia and Austria, the snow-capped peaks of the Julian and Karawanks mountain ranges appear.

💧

Lake Wörthersee

The largest lake in Carinthia, known for its distinct light blue-green color, visible as you enter Austrian airspace.

🏰

Hohenwerfen Fortress

Depending on the specific approach path, you may spot historic castles nestled in the Austrian alpine valleys.

Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying northwest. This side avoids direct glare from the sun in the afternoon and provides a front-row seat to the Adriatic coast. Watch for the transition from Mediterranean blue to the rugged grey and white of the Alps roughly 90 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Taurus Mountains

Rugged, high-altitude terrain of the Western Taurus range visible shortly after departing from Antalya.

🏙️

Belgrade and the Danube

Views of the Serbian capital situated at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.

🌅

Pannonian Basin

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Hungary and Vojvodina, creating a geometric patchwork of fields.

🍷

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea', Central Europe's largest lake, often visible in the distance during the mid-to-late stage of the flight.

🏭

Linz Industrial Skyline

A clear view of the VOEST-Alpine steel works and the city of Linz during the final approach to Hörsching.

The right side is excellent for seeing the inland geography of the Balkans and Central Europe. In the late afternoon, this side will experience significant sun glare. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight to avoid heat, but open it as you approach Linz for a great view of the Danube winding through Upper Austria.
