Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Aegean archipelago, the stunning Dalmatian coastline, the southern expanse of the Alps, and a beautiful approach over the English south coast and Bristol Channel.

For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you on this side, providing perfect lighting for photography. Look out for the shimmer of the Adriatic Sea approximately 90 minutes into the flight.
