Which side of the plane to sit from Milas Bodrum International Airport (Bodrum) to East Midlands Airport (East Midlands)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a breathtaking aerial tour of the Aegean archipelago immediately after takeoff and a more consistent view of the scenic European mountain ranges and the Rhine Valley.
Aegean Archipelago
Stunning views of the Greek islands including Chios and Lesbos scattered across the deep blue sea.
Balkan Ranges
The rugged peaks of the Rila and Pirin mountains in Bulgaria and the Serbian highlands.
Lake Balaton
The 'Hungarian Sea' is clearly visible with its distinct turquoise-green water and long, narrow shape.
Middle Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river through Germany, famous for its steep vineyards and historic castles.
London Skyline
On clear approaches from the south, the distant skyline of London and the Thames Estuary are visible to the south-west.
The left side is superior for sunset flights as the sun sets over the wing, casting a golden glow over the Aegean and European landscapes. During the day, keep your window shade partially down to manage the southern sun glare. Watch closely after 15 minutes for the first Greek islands to appear.
Turkish Aegean Coast
A beautiful view of the jagged Turkish coastline and the Gulf of GΓΆkova shortly after departure.
Budapest & Danube
Aerial views of the 'Queen of the Danube' with its iconic bridges and the river winding through the Hungarian plains.
Frankfurt Urban Area
The dense cityscape and massive airport hub of Frankfurt often appear as a landmark during the cruise phase.
Dutch Coastline
The intricate network of islands, dikes, and the Zeeland delta as the flight crosses the Netherlands.
The Wash & Norfolk Coast
The distinct square-shaped bay of The Wash and the salt marshes of the North Norfolk coast upon UK entry.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight, providing better conditions for photography. It offers the best perspective of the Danube river's path through Central Europe. Upon arrival at East Midlands, the right side often sees the rural landscapes of Lincolnshire and the Fens first.
