Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of the Austrian Alps, the sprawling city of Thessaloniki, and the unique monastic peninsula of Mount Athos before arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Austrian Alps

Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight paths south of Munich.

🏘️

Thessaloniki

The vibrant coastal city and the White Tower visible along the curve of the Thermaic Gulf.

⛪

Mount Athos

The spectacular 'Holy Mountain' peninsula, home to 20 historic Orthodox monasteries.

💧

Aegean Sea

Crystal clear turquoise waters dotted with small rocky islets during the final descent.

🇹🇷

Anatolian Coast

The rugged western coastline of Turkey visible just across the Mytilini Strait.

The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Athos—a rare geographic and cultural landmark. On afternoon flights, the golden hour lighting over the Greek islands is spectacular, though you may need to manage some sun glare.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Ruhr Metropolis

Dense urban landscapes and industrial heritage sites of Western Germany immediately after takeoff.

🌲

Bavarian Forest

Expansive green canopies and rolling hills along the German-Czech border region.

🌊

Danube River

The silver ribbon of Europe's second-longest river winding through the Pannonian Basin.

🏢

Sofia Skyline

The Bulgarian capital situated in a valley at the foot of the massive Vitosha Mountain.

🏝️

Lemnos Island

Aerial views of the volcanic landscape and bays of Lemnos as you enter the Aegean airspace.

Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize direct sun glare while flying southeast. This side is ideal for spotting the industrial heart of the Ruhr and the sprawling Balkan plains. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Bulgarian-Greek border for the first glimpses of the Aegean islands.
