Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning combination of the turquoise Aegean Sea, the rugged Greek mountains, the dramatic Adriatic coastline, and a spectacular southern view of the Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

Shortly after takeoff, view the scattered Greek islands like Lesbos and Chios set against deep blue waters.

⛰️

Mount Olympus

Look for the legendary home of the Greek gods, the highest peak in Greece, often capped with snow.

🌊

Dalmatian Coast

Exquisite views of the Croatian coastline, featuring thousands of islands and the terracotta roofs of coastal towns.

🏔️

The Alps

A breathtaking panorama of the high Alpine peaks and glaciers as you cross toward Central Europe.

🌳

Ardennes Forest

Dense, rolling green hills and deep valleys of the Belgian Ardennes during the descent into Brussels.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the vibrant blues of the Aegean and Adriatic. During the winter months, the snow coverage on the Alps is particularly dramatic. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Istrian Peninsula as you transition from the Balkans to the Alpine region.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌅

Balkan Highlands

Rugged and remote mountain ranges stretching across Bulgaria and Serbia.

💧

The Danube River

Watch for Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through the Pannonian Basin.

🏙️

Central European Cities

Bird's-eye views of urban landscapes such as Belgrade and potentially the outskirts of Vienna.

🏰

Rhine Valley

As you enter German airspace, look for the industrial heartland and historic river corridors.

🚜

Flemish Lowlands

The intricate patchwork of Belgian farmland and canals as the plane aligns for landing at BRU.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset glow over the European continent without the sun shining directly into your window. This side provides a better perspective of the vast river systems of the Danube and Rhine. If landing towards the west, you may catch a glimpse of the Atomium and Brussels city center in the distance.
