Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the rugged Balkan coastline, the spectacular turquoise waters of the Dalmatian archipelago, and the most dramatic high-altitude crossing of the Austrian Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Corfu Coastline

Immediate views of the northern tip of Corfu and the Diapontia Islands right after takeoff.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Albanian Riviera

Stunning views of the Ceraunian Mountains meeting the white pebble beaches of the Ionian coast.

๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

A breathtaking look at hundreds of Croatian islands including Hvar, Braฤ, and the Kornati National Park.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Hohe Tauern

Direct flight path over the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the snow-capped Grossglockner.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Frankfurt Skyline

A spectacular view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers if the aircraft approaches Frankfurt from the east.

For the best photography, take a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Balkan coastline. The most dramatic views occur between 15 and 45 minutes after takeoff. During the winter months, the right side provides incredible views of the sun reflecting off the snow-covered Alpine glaciers. Sit slightly ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion during the mountain transit.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
๐ŸŒŠ

Adriatic Sea

A vast, shimmering blue expanse that dominates the view for the first half of the journey.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Gargano Peninsula

On clear days, the distinctive 'spur' of the Italian boot is visible across the water.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Dolomites

Distant but recognizable jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible during the mid-flight cruise.

๐Ÿ‡

Hessian Hinterland

Rolling hills and patches of German vineyards as the plane begins its descent into Frankfurt.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the Venice Lagoon roughly 50 minutes into the flight; while distant, its unique shape is often visible on the horizon. This side is also better for spotting the Taunus mountain range during the final approach if landing from the west.
