BJV â LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Milas Bodrum International Airport (Bodrum) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides superior views of the Aegean and Ionian islands, a more dramatic perspective of the Western Alps including Mont Blanc, and a scenic approach over the North Wales coastline and Mersey estuary into Liverpool.
Aegean Archipelagos
Excellent views of the Dodecanese and Cyclades island chains immediately after departure from Bodrum.
Corinth Canal
A unique bird's-eye view of the narrow waterway separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece.
The Western Alps
Spectacular panoramas of Europe's highest peaks, including the Aosta Valley and the snow-capped Mont Blanc massif.
French Vineyards
The orderly geometric patterns of the Burgundy wine region are clearly visible over central France.
Snowdonia National Park
On the final descent, the rugged mountains and lakes of North Wales appear to the west.
River Mersey
A direct view of the industrial heritage and the Runcorn bridge as you line up for the runway at LPL.
Choose the left side for the best variety of landscapes. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare; use a polarising filter for photos. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Alpine section. Sit away from the wing (rows 1-10 or 25+) for unobstructed views of the Mediterranean coastline.
Bodrum Peninsula
Great views of the Turkish coastline, luxury marinas, and the castle of St. Peter upon takeoff.
Pindus Range
The dramatic limestone ridges of the Greek 'spine' provide a rugged mountainous backdrop.
Italian Lakes
Look for the deep blue expanses of Lake Garda or Lake Como nestled at the foot of the Alps.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days with a northerly routing, the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of Paris are visible in the distance.
The Peak District
The rolling green hills and dales of the English Midlands as the aircraft begins its arrival sequence.
Greater Manchester
Views of the neighboring urban sprawl and iconic football stadiums before the final turn into Liverpool.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a better perspective of the Italian lake district and the central English landscape. During the winter, the low sun angle provides excellent shadows and depth for photography of the Balkan mountains.
