Which side of the plane to sit from Erbil International Airport (Erbil) to Adana Airport (Adana)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the rugged Taurus Mountains and the massive reservoirs of the Euphrates River, providing a more dramatic and varied landscape throughout the journey.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Zagros Outliers

Initial views of the rugged mountain peaks that define the border region between Iraq and Turkey.

๐Ÿ’ง

Atatรผrk Reservoir

Visible in the distance, this massive blue body of water is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Taurus Mountains

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Anti-Taurus and Taurus ranges stretching across Southern Turkey.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Gaziantep Urban Area

The sprawling city of Gaziantep is often visible to the north midway through the flight.

The right side is superior for mountain photography. In winter and spring, the Taurus peaks are covered in snow, creating a stunning contrast with the blue sky. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the northern mountain ranges without the glare of the southern sun.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Tigris River

Watch for the winding path of the historical Tigris River shortly after departure from Erbil.

๐Ÿšœ

Cukurova Plain

The fertile Cilician plains appear as a vibrant patchwork of agricultural fields during the approach to Adana.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Adana City Skyline

Great views of the Sabanci Central Mosque and the Seyhan River as the plane descends into ADA.

Sit on the left for better views of the Syrian borderlands and the urban layout of Adana. Mid-day flights offer the best lighting to see the agricultural patterns of the Cukurova plain. Keep an eye out for the Seyhan Dam on the final approach.
