Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Anadolu Airport (Eskissehir)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌳

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🍇

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.
