Our Recommendation
9.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is favored for its sweeping views of the central Alps, the shimmering turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, and the dramatic approach over the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus.

Right Side Highlights
9.1
🏔️

The Alps

A magnificent panorama of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, featuring high-altitude glaciers and jagged peaks.

⛵

Aegean Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the Greek islands, including Rhodes and the Dodecanese, scattered across the deep blue sea.

⛰️

Troodos Massif

The pine-covered volcanic peaks of Cyprus's largest mountain range appearing on the right during arrival.

🦩

Larnaca Salt Lake

Just before touchdown, look for the white salt crusts and seasonal pink hues of the famous salt lake near the airport.

🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the vast Mediterranean horizon, perfect for sunset photography on late afternoon flights.

The right side is unbeatable for the Alpine crossing about 45-60 minutes into the flight. On the approach to LCA, this side usually offers a better view of the Cypriot coastline. For evening flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Ruhr Metropolis

Views of the sprawling industrial and urban landscape of the Rhine-Ruhr area shortly after takeoff.

🥨

Bavarian Plains

Looking down over the fertile plains of southern Germany and the city of Munich in the distance.

🌊

Danube River

Aerial views of the winding Danube as the flight path crosses into Central Europe near Vienna or Budapest.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Stunning views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks along the southern coast of Turkey before the Mediterranean crossing.

🏖️

Kyrenia Range

The sharp limestone peaks of northern Cyprus visible as the plane descends toward Larnaca.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding for seeing the rugged Turkish coastline and the northern finger of Cyprus (the Karpas Peninsula) during the final descent phase.
