Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Nile Delta to the Mediterranean, followed by spectacular views of the Adriatic coastline and the most rugged sections of the Eastern Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Alexandria & Nile Delta

View the western edge of the fertile Nile Delta and the historic Mediterranean port city of Alexandria shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight heads north-northwest toward the European continent.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

Stunning views of the turquoise waters and rugged islands along the Balkan and Italian coastal borders.

🏔️

Eastern Alps

Breathtaking panoramas of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as you cross through Austrian and southern German airspace.

🏰

Bavarian Countryside

Rolling green hills, dense forests, and traditional German villages as the aircraft begins its initial descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean and the Alps without direct sun glare. Ensure you are awake approximately 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight for the best mountain views. In winter, the Alps are particularly striking with full snow coverage.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🛶

The Nile Fan

The lush green triangle of the Nile Delta provides a sharp, beautiful contrast against the golden Saharan sands.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

Clusters of Greek islands like Crete and Rhodes scattered across the sea like pearls from a high altitude.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged limestone peaks and karst plateaus stretching across the Balkan Peninsula.

💧

Danube River

The winding blue path of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through Central European plains.

🏙️

Prague Cityscape

On clear days, the 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible to the east shortly before crossing the German border.

The right side is ideal for morning departures to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Aegean Sea. Look for the Danube River about 45-60 minutes before arrival in Berlin. This side generally offers more consistent views of the diverse island chains of Greece.
