Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is superior for this route as it offers a front-row seat to the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic coastline and the most dramatic perspectives of the Alpine peaks during the crossing into Central Europe.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Aegean Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the Dodecanese and Cyclades islands shortly after departure from Dalaman.

🌊

Dalmatian Coast

A spectacular sequence of Croatian islands and the historic terracotta rooftops of Dubrovnik and Split.

🏔️

High Alps

Direct views of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps, providing incredible geological textures.

🏙️

Munich & Bavaria

Distal views of the Bavarian capital and the perfectly manicured agricultural patterns of Southern Germany.

🛶

Lower Rhine

The winding Rhine River and the city of Cologne are often visible during the initial descent phase.

Choose the Left Side (Seat A/K) for the best views of the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better lighting for photography without window glare. Keep your camera ready about 60-90 minutes into the flight for the Alps.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛥️

Turkish Riviera

Stunning views of the rugged Muğla coastline and the Bodrum peninsula during the initial climb.

⛰️

Balkan Interior

Rugged views over the Dinaric Alps and the mountainous landscapes of Montenegro and Serbia.

🏙️

Zagreb Panorama

Clear aerial views of the Croatian capital and the surrounding Sava River valley.

🌲

German Lowlands

The transition from the Alpine foothills into the dense forests and rolling hills of Central Germany.

🏭

Ruhr District

The vast industrial and urban sprawl of the Rhine-Ruhr megalopolis as you approach Düsseldorf.

The Right Side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the Turkish coast and the German countryside perfectly. On approach to DUS, the right side often catches the first glimpses of the airport's surrounding industrial architecture.
