Which side of the plane to sit from Milas Bodrum International Airport (Bodrum) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Turkish Riviera upon departure and typically provides the most iconic views of the London skyline and the Thames during the descent into Luton.
Bodrum Peninsula
A panoramic view of the Aegean coastline, luxury resorts, and the turquoise bays of Milas.
Adriatic Glimpses
Possible views of the stunning Dalmatian coast and Croatian islands depending on the specific air corridor.
Mont Blanc Massif
The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in the distance while transiting the Alpine region.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and the Eiffel Tower can be spotted to the south.
London Landmarks
During the 'Willard' or 'Match' arrivals into Luton, you frequently see The Shard, Canary Wharf, and the River Thames.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over Europe. Pay close attention during the last 20 minutes of the flight; as the aircraft descends and enters the holding patterns for Luton, it often circles south of London, providing the best views of the city center.
Aegean Archipelago
Clear views of the Greek islands such as Samos and Chios shortly after departing the Turkish coast.
The Balkan Ranges
Bird's-eye view of the rugged, mountainous terrain across Bulgaria and Serbia.
The Swiss Alps
Stunning snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Champagne Region
The meticulously organized vineyards and rolling hills of Eastern France.
English Channel
Aerial view of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the White Cliffs of Dover upon entering UK airspace.
For morning flights, the left side is preferable to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Look out about 150 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Alps. This side is also excellent for spotting the dramatic coastline of the Aegean Sea during the initial climb.
