Search flights from AYT to RTM
Taurus Mountains
Stunning rugged peaks and deep valleys immediately after departure from Antalya.
Aegean Archipelago
Crystal clear waters and the scattering of Greek and Turkish islands in the distance.
The Alps
Snow-capped Austrian and Swiss peaks visible on the horizon during the cruise over Central Europe.
Rhine-Meuse Delta
Intricate network of rivers and shipping canals as you enter Dutch airspace.
Port of Rotterdam
Dramatic views of the Maasvlakte and one of the world's largest industrial harbors on final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side provides the best perspective of the Mediterranean coastline during takeoff. During winter months, the snow-covered Alps are a major highlight approximately two-thirds into the flight. Watch for the massive container ships near the Dutch coast during the descent.

Lake Beyşehir
Turkey's largest freshwater lake surrounded by the Anamas Mountains.
Danube River
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river through the Balkans and Hungary.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the Serbian capital.
Frankfurt Skyline
The distinctive 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers visible if the flight path tracks over central Germany.
The Hague Coastline
The beach resort of Scheveningen and the Dutch seat of government just before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to keep the sun on the opposite side of the aircraft. It offers better views of the Turkish 'Lakes Region' shortly after takeoff. Keep an eye out for major European cities like Belgrade or Budapest depending on the specific air traffic control routing. The approach into RTM from the north often gives the right side a perfect view of the North Sea coastline.
