Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the European interior and the breathtaking 'Turkish Lake District' during the final descent, while avoiding direct glare on southbound morning flights.
German Baltic Coast
Views of the Rügen island cliffs and the northern coastline of Germany shortly after leaving Danish airspace.
Central European Cities
Distant panoramas of cities like Prague or Vienna depending on the specific airway corridor used.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the jagged white peaks of the Austrian Alps are visible on the far southern horizon.
Lake Eğirdir
A stunning turquoise-blue lake in the Turkish Lake District, seen during the approach from the north.
Western Taurus Peaks
Spectacular aerial views of the deep canyons and high plateaus of the Taurus range just before landing.
This is the 'cool' side for morning flights as the sun remains on the left. Watch closely about 30-40 minutes before landing for the Turkish Lake District; the contrast of the blue water against the arid mountains is a highlight. Seats behind the wing are recommended to see the flaps and spoilers working against the mountain backdrop.
Øresund Bridge
Visible immediately after takeoff, this iconic bridge connects Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden.
Carpathian Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks of the High Tatras and Carpathians stretching through Slovakia and Romania.
Balkan Heartland
Expansive views of the rolling green hills and river valleys across Serbia and Bulgaria.
Eastern Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Antalya province.
On a morning departure, expect bright sunlight on this side of the aircraft. For the best views of the Øresund Bridge, ensure you look out quickly after departure if taking off to the East. During landing, this side often sees the outskirts of Antalya city and the Lara beach hotel strip.
