Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Anadolu Airport (Eskissehir)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it typically offers a stunning aerial perspective of the Istanbul skyline and the Bosphorus Strait during the descent, along with prime views of the Swiss and Austrian Alps mid-flight.
Ardennes Forest
Lush green rolling hills and deep valleys visible shortly after departure from Brussels.
Swiss-Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of high-altitude glaciers and snow-capped peaks in Central Europe.
The Danube River
Watch the winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through the Balkans.
Istanbul & Bosphorus
On clear days, the descent provides a panoramic view of the bridge connecting Europe and Asia.
Sea of Marmara
Beautiful coastal views and shipping lanes as the plane turns south toward Eskişehir.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best panoramic views of Istanbul. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Alps. The most iconic landmarks appear in the final 45 minutes of the flight.
Rhine Valley
Aerial views of the historic German river valley known for its vineyards and castles.
Tyrolean Alps
Rugged limestone peaks and alpine meadows throughout the Austrian segment of the flight.
Balkan Mountains
The dramatic and rocky landscapes of Bulgaria and Serbia stretching toward the horizon.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, golden-hued high plains of central Turkey as you approach the destination.
Eskişehir Cityscape
Views of the Porsuk River and the urban sprawl during the final approach to Anadolu Airport.
Choose an 'F' or 'K' seat to avoid direct sunlight on afternoon flights. This side offers better views of the rugged interior of the Balkan Peninsula. During the winter, the snow cover on the Anatolian plateau is particularly striking on this side.
