Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Taurus Mountains during take-off, a spectacular traversal of the Austrian Alps, and the potential for a distant view of London before the final descent over the English Midlands.
Taurus Mountains
Sharp, snow-capped limestone peaks rising sharply from the coast as the plane climbs out of Antalya.
Sofia & Balkans
Aerial views of the Bulgarian capital and the rugged terrain of the Balkan mountain range.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest central European peaks, often visible for 30-40 minutes mid-flight.
Bavarian Plains
The sprawling landscapes of Southern Germany, often passing near Munich's distinctive urban layout.
Greater London
On clear days, the vast sprawl of the UK capital and the winding River Thames are visible to the south.
Manchester Skyline
A close-up view of Deansgate Square and the city's growing skyscraper cluster during the final descent.
The right side is essential for viewing the core of the Alps; look out about 2.5 hours after departure. If flying during the day, the lighting on the mountains is usually excellent for photography. During landing, this side often gets a better view of Manchester city center.
Antalya Gulf
Crystal clear turquoise waters and the dramatic coastline of the Turkish Riviera immediately after take-off.
Aegean Archipelago
A mosaic of Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea during the first hour of flight.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate coastline of Croatia, featuring thousands of islands and the limestone cliffs of the Dinaric Alps.
Swiss Alps
Distant views of the high Swiss peaks and glacial valleys if the flight path tracks slightly south.
Northern France
The neatly organized agricultural patchwork and historic towns of the Hauts-de-France region.
Peak District
The rolling green hills and moorlands of Northern England as the plane aligns for its final approach into Manchester.
Choose the left side for sunset views on afternoon flights, as the sun will be on this side for the duration of the journey. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline.
