Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a spectacular vantage point for the turquoise waters of the Dalmatian coast and the majestic northern ridges of the Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

Aerial views of the Dodecanese and Cyclades islands shortly after departing Bodrum.

🌊

Dalmatian Coast

Dramatic views of the rugged Croatian coastline and the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

The Alps

Breathtaking snow-capped peaks visible as the flight traverses Central Europe towards France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Winding rivers and historic French estates visible through clear skies over central France.

🚢

English Channel

Watch the heavy maritime traffic and the white cliffs near the French/UK border.

Book a window seat on the Left Side for sunset flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Mediterranean. On clear days, look out for the distinctive shape of Venice about 90 minutes into the flight. If the approach to Bristol is from the east, you will also get a great view of the Severn Bridge and the estuary.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Pindus Mountains

The dramatic, high-altitude terrain of Northern Greece and Albania shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Munich & Bavaria

Depending on the specific airway, distant views of Southern Germany's urban landscape.

🗼

Paris Peripheral

On northern-leaning routes, the distant sprawling lights of the French capital are visible.

🎡

London Horizon

Distant views of the London skyline may be visible during the descent into the West Country.

🐄

Mendip Hills

The lush green rolling hills of Somerset as the plane prepares for landing at Bristol.

The Right Side is better for avoiding direct sun glare during morning flights heading northwest. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Bath during the final descent into Bristol, as the flight path often passes just south of the city's iconic Georgian architecture.
