Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a premium vantage point for the most dramatic geographic features, including the central Alpine peaks, Lake Geneva, and the iconic white cliffs of the English coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of Greek islands scattered across deep blue waters visible shortly after departure.

🌊

Adriatic Sea

The sparkling turquoise coastline of Albania and the rugged, crystalline islands of Croatia.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Breathtaking aerial views of major snow-capped peaks in the heart of Europe during the mid-flight segment.

💎

Lake Geneva

The massive, crescent-shaped lake reflecting the surrounding mountain ranges near the Swiss-French border.

⚪

White Cliffs of Dover

The iconic chalk cliffs and the busy maritime traffic of the English Channel during the descent.

Book a seat on the left side for morning or early afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. The most dramatic scenery occurs between 2 and 3 hours into the flight. Keep your camera ready as you cross the French coast into the UK, as the descent offers excellent views of the Kent countryside.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
🏖️

Bodrum Peninsula

Excellent views of the Castle of St. Peter and the white-washed coastal towns of the Turkish Riviera upon takeoff.

⛰️

Balkan Interior

The rugged and mountainous terrain of Bulgaria and Serbia, featuring deep river gorges and dense forests.

🥨

Central Europe

A patchwork of Bavarian farmland and the winding paths of major rivers like the Danube or Rhine.

🚢

Benelux Coastline

The intricate estuaries and massive shipping ports of the Low Countries as the flight approaches the North Sea.

🎡

Essex Countryside

The sprawling green landscapes of East England and the Thames Estuary during the final approach to Stansted.

The right side is superior for viewing the initial climb out of Turkey, offering great perspectives of the Aegean coastline. On arrival, if the aircraft approaches Stansted from the east, passengers on this side may catch a distant glimpse of the London skyline and the QEII Bridge.
