Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of coastal geography, historic European capitals, and iconic landmarks like Lake Balaton and the city of Prague.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Western Taurus Mountains

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys visible immediately after departing Antalya.

🌊

Aegean Coastline

Stunning views of the rugged Turkish coast and nearby Greek islands during the climb.

🏙️

Sofia

The Bulgarian capital and the Vitosha mountain massif are clearly visible to the west.

💧

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea' stands out with its distinct turquoise color and elongated shape.

🏰

Prague

The Vltava River and the historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' appear during the descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the final approach into Berlin, this side often provides the best views of the Brandenburg lakes and the Grunewald forest. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the Balkan mountains to the Pannonian Basin.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏔️

Central Taurus Range

Higher, snow-capped peaks of the Taurus range visible during the initial ascent.

🌉

Budapest

A spectacular view of the Danube River splitting the city into Buda and Pest.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

Dense, dark green forest canopy covering the border region between Czechia and Germany.

🏛️

Dresden

The winding Elbe River and the reconstructed historic center of the 'Florence on the Elbe'.

🏙️

Berlin City Center

On specific landing patterns, the TV Tower and Reichstag are visible as you approach the city.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft. This side provides excellent views of the Danube River's major bends through Hungary and Slovakia. Watch for the sudden change in landscape as you cross the Ore Mountains into the North German Plain.
