CPH β ADB
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Adnan Menderes International Airport (Izmir)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the central European landscape, the rugged Balkan mountain ranges, and most importantly, the stunning approach over the Aegean Sea and the Gulf of Izmir.
Danish Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the islands of MΓΈn and Falster shortly after departure.
Prague & Bohemia
Potential sightings of the Vltava River and the historic architecture of central Czechia.
Balkan Interior
Dramatic views of the Dinaric Alps and the mountainous terrain of Serbia and Bulgaria.
Aegean Coastline
Spectacular views of the turquoise waters and jagged bays of the Turkish coast during descent.
Izmir City & Gulf
A breathtaking panoramic view of the Izmir city center and the expansive gulf during the final approach.
Select the right side for the most iconic approach into ADB. Afternoon flights provide golden hour lighting over the Aegean. During the descent, watch for the ancient ruins scattered along the Turkish coast near Ephesus if the flight path tracks slightly south.
Oresund Bridge
Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the massive bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden.
Baltic Coastline
Vibrant views of the German and Polish coastlines as the flight heads south-east.
Carpathian Mountains
Fly over the sweeping arcs of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania with their dense forests.
Bucharest Surroundings
The sprawling urban landscape of the Romanian capital is often visible on the port side.
Black Sea Horizon
On the descent, the deep blue of the Black Sea is visible to the east before entering Turkish airspace.
Great for morning flights as the sun will be behind you for most of the journey, highlighting the greens of the European plains. Keep an eye out for the Danube River snaking through the Balkans.
