Which side of the plane to sit from Milas Bodrum International Airport (Bodrum) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of views starting with the turquoise Aegean islands, followed by the jagged peaks of the Alps, and concluding with a high-probability view of Manchester's city center on the final approach.
Aegean Archipelago
Stunning views of the Greek islands of Kos, Kalymnos, and Leros shortly after departure from Bodrum.
Mount Olympus
Look west as the plane crosses the Greek coast to see the legendary home of the gods.
Adriatic Coastline
Panoramic views of the turquoise waters and white-pebble beaches along the Albanian and Croatian coasts.
The Alps
Dramatic vistas of the southern snow-capped Alpine peaks during the mid-flight transit across Central Europe.
Manchester Skyline
On a standard Runway 23R approach, the left side provides the best view of the Deansgate skyscrapers and Old Trafford.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare from the southern sun, making it easier to take photos of the Aegean and the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the urban sprawl of Greater Manchester.
Turkish Riviera
Excellent views of the Bodrum peninsula and the indented coastline of Didim and Kuşadası during climb-out.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged, forested terrain stretching across Bulgaria and Serbia as the flight heads northwest.
Rhine-Main Region
Distant views of Frankfurt's skyline and the industrial heartland of Germany's river valleys.
The English Channel
The crossing from continental Europe into the UK, often offering views of the busy shipping lanes.
Peak District
As the flight descends into Manchester, look for the rolling green hills and moorlands of the national park.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over Western Europe. It offers the best perspective of the Turkish coastline during the first 15 minutes of the flight.
