Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, starting with iconic views of Budapest's landmarks and concluding with a magnificent island-hopping visual over the Aegean Sea and the Larnaca coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏛️

Budapest Panorama

Clear views of the Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, and the historic bridges if taking off towards the south.

⛰️

Mount Olympus

On clear days, the legendary home of the Greek gods is visible in the distance as you pass the Greek mainland.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

A stunning parade of Greek islands, including the Dodecanese chain, set against the deep blue sea.

🏰

Rhodes Island

The distinct shape of Rhodes and its historic coastline are often visible just before the final leg to Cyprus.

🦩

Larnaca Salt Lake

A unique ecosystem and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque visible during the final approach into LCA.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while enjoying the Aegean islands. For the best photos of the Larnaca Salt Lake and the coastline, select a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view during the low-altitude final approach.

Left Side Highlights

🛶

The Danube River

Aerial perspective of the river winding through the Great Hungarian Plain shortly after departure.

🏔️

Balkan Mountains

Rugged, forested ridges of central Bulgaria providing dramatic terrain views during the mid-flight cruise.

🏖️

Turkish Riviera

Distant high-altitude views of the Antalya coastline and the turquoise Mediterranean waters.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

The imposing snow-capped peaks of southern Turkey visible as the flight transitions over the sea toward Cyprus.

Choose the left side for early morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Balkan ranges. This side is also excellent for spotting the Anatolian coastline of Turkey, which remains in view for a significant portion of the descent phase.
