Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Adriatic coastline, the Ionian islands of Greece, and a spectacular descent over the Aegean Sea with vistas of the Bodrum peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🚢

English Channel

A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from the English coast to the Normandy shoreline.

🏔️

Mont Blanc & The High Alps

Unrivaled views of the highest peaks in Europe if the flight path tracks through southeastern France.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning archipelago of Croatia with hundreds of islands visible against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

🇬🇷

Greek Ionian Islands

Look for the white cliffs of Lefkada and the lush greenery of Corfu as you cross the Mediterranean.

🏖️

Bodrum Peninsula

Breathtaking views of the turquoise bays, white-washed houses, and the Aegean islands during the final approach.

Choose the right side for the most iconic Mediterranean views. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare, but the golden hour lighting over the Aegean islands during arrival is worth it. Aim for a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the islands.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Mendip Hills

Immediate views of the rolling Somerset landscape and the Chew Valley Lake shortly after departing Bristol.

🇫🇷

Parisian Outskirts

Aerial perspectives of the northern French countryside and the sprawling suburbs of Paris depending on the airway.

🏔️

The Swiss Alps

Dramatic views of the northern slopes of the Alps, often showing snow-capped peaks even in early summer.

🇧🇬

Balkan Mountains

Rugged terrain crossing through Bulgaria and Northern Greece, showcasing deep valleys and remote ridges.

🏞️

Lake Bafa

On final descent, look for this large lake surrounded by the Latmos Mountains just north of Bodrum.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the distinctive inland geography of western Turkey and the high peaks of the eastern Alps during the mid-flight segment.
