Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Taurus Mountains during takeoff and a more consistent perspective of the Carpathian mountain range and major European river systems.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Incredible close-up views of the jagged peaks and deep valleys immediately following departure from AYT.

🌾

Anatolian Plateau

The vast, high-altitude landscapes of inner Turkey provide a stark and beautiful contrast to the coast.

⛰️

Carpathian Arc

Observe the sweeping mountain ranges of Romania and Slovakia as the flight heads north-west.

🌊

The Danube

The winding path of Europe's second-longest river is clearly visible as it snakes through the plains.

🌲

Bohemian Landscape

Rich forests and traditional Czech villages become visible as the plane descends into the heart of Bohemia.

This is the premier side for mountain lovers. The Taurus Mountains are the absolute highlight of the first 20 minutes, so be ready immediately after wheels up. For photographers, morning flights provide the best lighting on the landscape. Upon arrival at PRG, look for the Vltava river cutting through the rolling hills of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.

🌊

Turquoise Coast

Beautiful views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Gulf of Antalya shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

Distant views of the Greek islands if the route tracks slightly west over the Aegean Sea.

🏔️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged limestone mountains of the western Balkans are visible during the cruise phase.

💧

Lake Balaton

The greenish-blue expanse of Central Europe's largest lake appears as you cross into Hungary.

Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid harsh sun glare. During the final approach into Prague, this side frequently offers a panoramic view of the city center if the aircraft circles from the west. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of Lake Balaton in Hungary as a key navigational landmark mid-flight.
