DUSAYT

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is favored for its spectacular crossing of the central Alps and the panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and Antalya Bay during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Alps

Approximately 45-60 minutes in, view the stunning snow-capped peaks of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps.

🌊

Adriatic Glimpses

Distant views of the sparkling blue Adriatic Sea while transiting over the Balkan peninsula.

⛵

Aegean Sea

As the plane approaches Turkey, look for the deep blue waters and scattered islands of the Aegean.

🏖️

Turkish Riviera

The dramatic meeting of the Taurus mountains and the Mediterranean sea along the coastline.

⚓

Antalya Bay

A spectacular final approach over the turquoise waters and cliffs of the Antalya coastline.

The right side is the prime choice for alpine scenery. For the best experience, try to book a morning flight to avoid the sun's glare from the south. Keep your camera ready as you approach the Turkish coast, as the contrast between the turquoise water and the white limestone cliffs is a highlight of the route.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏭

Ruhr Metropolis

Expansive views of the industrial heart of Germany shortly after departure from Düsseldorf.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

The dense green rolling hills of central Germany provide a scenic landscape early in the flight.

🏰

Budapest & Danube

Depending on the exact airway, the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube may be visible.

⛰️

Carpathian Mountains

The rugged and wild peaks of the Southern Carpathians in Romania offer dramatic terrain.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

The northern slopes of the Taurus range offer a jagged, rocky landscape before the final descent.

Choose the left side for interesting urban landscapes of Western Germany. During the middle of the flight, the Carpathian Mountains provide the best geographic interest. If flying in the late afternoon, the lighting on the Taurus Mountains is particularly soft and beautiful for photography.
