Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high peaks of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, followed by a stunning coastal transit over the Adriatic Sea and a breathtaking final descent over the Greek Ionian Islands and the Bodrum Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The High Alps

Unrivaled views of Mont Blanc and the jagged peaks of the French and Italian Alps.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning, island-dotted coastline of Croatia and the deep fjords of Montenegro.

🏝️

Ionian Islands

Look down on the turquoise waters surrounding Corfu, Lefkada, and Kefalonia.

🏛️

Athens & Attica

On more southerly routes, the Saronic Gulf and the sprawl of Athens are visible.

🌅

Bodrum Peninsula

A spectacular low-altitude turn over the Aegean islands and the marinas of Bodrum before landing.

The right side is iconic for this route. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare, but the rewards are the Ionian island views. During the final 20 minutes, watch for the distinct 'fingers' of the Turkish coastline and the many small islets in the Aegean.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Kent & Dover

Aerial views of the Garden of England and the distant white cliffs as you cross the Channel.

🏔️

Central Alps

Sweeping vistas of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian peaks to the northeast.

🏙️

Sofia & Balkans

Clear views of the rugged Balkan Mountains and the capital cities of Southeast Europe.

🌊

Northern Aegean

The deep blue waters of the North Aegean Sea and the Greek coastline near Thessaloniki.

🇹🇷

Milas Basin

The final approach over the agricultural landscapes and olive groves of the Mugla province.

Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze. This side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while viewing the Alps. Keep an eye out for Lake Geneva shortly after entering French airspace.
