Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Zweibrücken Airport (Zweibruecken)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, the scattered Aegean islands, and a spectacular traverse along the southern spine of the Alps.
Turkish Riviera
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and white beaches of the Antalya coastline immediately after takeoff.
Aegean Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the scattered Greek islands like Rhodes and Samos as you head toward the Balkans.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst mountain range running through the Balkans provides dramatic textures below.
Swiss-Austrian Alps
A majestic view of the high peaks of the southern Alps, often snow-capped even in early summer.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the tri-border area of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Sit on the left side (Port) for the best morning light and to avoid direct glare from the sun when flying northwest. This side offers the best views of the Alps' southern peaks. In winter, ensure your window is clear as high-altitude frost can occur during the Balkan crossing.
Taurus Mountains
Powerful views of the sharp peaks and deep valleys of the Taurus range shortly after departing Antalya.
Balkan Capitals
Potential views of Sofia or Belgrade depending on the specific airway and air traffic control routing.
The Danube River
Watch for the winding 'Blue Danube' as it carves its way through the plains of Central Europe.
Black Forest Edges
Dense, dark green forest canopies of Southern Germany as the plane begins its descent into Zweibrücken.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers during the initial climb out of Turkey. On clear days, keep an eye out for major European river systems. Note that afternoon flights may experience significant sun glare on this side of the aircraft.
