Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the stunning Dalmatian coastline and the most dramatic sections of the Austrian Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Cyclades Islands

Glimpses of scattered Greek islands in the Aegean shortly after takeoff from Crete.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

The intricate network of Croatian islands and limestone cliffs stretching along the Adriatic.

🏔️

High Tauern

Massive glaciated peaks of the Austrian Central Alps, including sights near the Grossglockner.

🏙️

Bavarian Plateau

Expansive green fields, dense forests, and the sparkling lakes south of Munich.

✈️

Frankfurt Skyline

A distant look at Germany's financial hub and its cluster of skyscrapers during the northern leg.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Balkan Peninsula. It provides the best perspective of the Croatian archipelago, which is a major highlight of this route. Ensure your window is clean for the high-altitude Alpine crossing where the contrast between snow and rock is most vivid.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Ionian Sea

Deep azure waters and the distant western coastline of the Greek mainland shortly after departure.

🏔️

Western Alps

Views of the Swiss-Austrian border peaks and the Silvretta mountain range.

🛶

Lake Constance

The massive border lake shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland is often visible on the descent.

🍇

Rhine Gorge

Spectacular views of the river's winding path and vineyard-covered hills as you approach the destination.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the Rhine River's distinctive bends and the industrial landscape of the Ruhr region.
