Which side of the plane to sit from Erbil International Airport (Erbil) to Adana Airport (Adana)?
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.
Zagros Outliers
Initial views of the rugged mountain peaks that define the border region between Iraq and Turkey.
Atatรผrk Reservoir
Visible in the distance, this massive blue body of water is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.
Taurus Mountains
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Anti-Taurus and Taurus ranges stretching across Southern Turkey.
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.
Tigris River
Watch for the winding path of the historical Tigris River shortly after departure from Erbil.
Cukurova Plain
The fertile Cilician plains appear as a vibrant patchwork of agricultural fields during the approach to Adana.
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.
