BSL β ADB
Which side of the plane to sit from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse) to Adnan Menderes International Airport (Izmir)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled panorama of the Bernese Oberland's highest peaks, followed by the stunning turquoise waters and jagged islands of the Dalmatian Coast and the Aegean archipelago.
Bernese Oberland
Iconic views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau summits shortly after departure from Basel.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The spectacular sight of hundreds of Croatian islands scattered throughout the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Greek Highlands
Flying over the rugged Pindus mountain range and the historic landscapes of Central Greece.
Aegean Sea Islands
A beautiful sequence of Greek and Turkish islands, characterized by white architecture and crystal-clear shores.
The right side is superior for maritime scenery. For the best photography of the Adriatic and Aegean islands, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is behind the aircraft. Keep your camera ready approximately 30 minutes after takeoff for the most impressive Alpine views.
Black Forest Edge
Brief views of the dense, dark green canopy bordering the Rhine valley immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the Glarus and Grisons mountain ranges, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep valleys.
Balkan Interior
Rugged and remote mountain landscapes across Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
Izmir Cityscape
A broad view of the sprawling metropolitan area and the bustling Gulf of Izmir during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides the best perspective of the urban layout of Izmir as the plane maneuvers for landing at Adnan Menderes Airport.
