BGO โ AYT
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Norwegian fjords during departure and the spectacular descent over the Taurus Mountains and the Gulf of Antalya during arrival.
Norwegian Fjords
Stunning views of the intricate coastline, deep blue inlets, and steep cliffs of Hordaland.
Jutland Peninsula
The long sandy beaches and coastal dunes of Denmark's west coast.
Austrian Alps
Glacier-capped peaks and deep alpine valleys of the central Austrian mountain ranges.
Aegean Sea Coast
The indented coastline of Western Turkey and distant glimpses of the Greek Dodecanese islands.
Taurus Mountains
The massive, snow-dusted limestone peaks that shield Antalya from the central Anatolian plateau.
Gulf of Antalya
The brilliant turquoise waters and curved coastline of the Mediterranean as the plane banks for landing.
The right side is unbeatable for the 'scenic' factor, especially the arrival into AYT. Try to book an afternoon flight for softer lighting on the Taurus Mountains. During winter, the contrast between the snowy Alps and the blue Mediterranean is particularly striking. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to capture the descent over the mountains.
Hardangervidda Plateau
The vast, snowy expanse of Europe's largest high-mountain plateau shortly after takeoff from Bergen.
รresund Bridge
The iconic bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, to Malmรถ, Sweden.
Berlin Urban Area
Clear views of the German capital's sprawl, including the TV Tower and surrounding Brandenburg lakes.
The High Tatras
The jagged peaks of the Tatra Mountains forming the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.
Balkan Ranges
Rugged terrain and river valleys across Serbia and Bulgaria as the flight heads southeast.
Antalya Cliffs
The dramatic limestone cliffs and waterfalls of the Lara district just before touching down.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side provides excellent views of Eastern European cities and the urban layout of Antalya's eastern resorts during the final approach. Keep your camera ready for the transition from the green Balkans to the arid Turkish landscape.
