Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the highest peaks of the Alps, the dramatic turquoise coastline of the Adriatic Sea, and the iconic Greek islands before landing.
Mont Blanc & High Alps
Spectacular views of the highest peaks in Europe, including glaciers and the Aosta Valley.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning Croatian coastline with hundreds of islands scattered in the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea.
Greek Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the Peloponnese and the scattered islands of the Aegean Sea.
Turkish Riviera
The stunning approach along the Mediterranean coast, passing near Fethiye and Kas.
Lara Beach
On final approach, see the luxury resorts and golden sands of the Antalya coastline.
The right side is the 'scenic' side for this route. To see the Adriatic islands clearly, aim for a midday flight. During the descent into Antalya, keep your camera ready for the dramatic transition from the deep blue sea to the towering Taurus Mountains that frame the city. Note that on evening flights, the sunset over the Mediterranean will be visible from this side.
English Channel
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Dieppe or Le Havre.
Bernese Alps
The northern reaches of the Swiss Alps, showcasing jagged peaks and deep glacial valleys.
Balkan Cities
Aerial views of inland Eastern European landscapes, often passing near Sofia or Plovdiv.
Western Taurus
The rugged limestone peaks of the Taurus range as you transition from the Anatolian plateau.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides excellent views of the vast Anatolian interior during the final 45 minutes of the flight. Watch for the contrast between the green European plains and the more arid Turkish highlands.
