Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Milas Bodrum International Airport (Bodrum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Western Alps, the stunning turquoise Adriatic coastline of Croatia, and a spectacular descent over the Aegean islands before landing.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of the Western Alps, including potential glimpses of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
Adriatic Archipelago
The stunning turquoise waters and hundreds of white-shored islands along the Croatian coastline.
Greek Islands
A magnificent bird's-eye view of the Cyclades and Dodecanese island chains in the Aegean Sea.
Bodrum Peninsula
Close-up views of the luxury marinas, white-washed houses, and the St. Peter's Castle during the final bank.
Mediterranean Horizon
On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea.
The right side is the definitive choice for scenic lovers. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Aegean islands without obstruction. Use polarized sunglasses to better see the coral reefs and shallow waters around the islands. This side gets the most sun in the afternoon, so keep the window shade down until you reach the Alps.
East Coast of England
Aerial views of the Northumberland coast and the Farne Islands shortly after departure from Edinburgh.
Central European Cities
Clear views of major urban centers like Brussels or Frankfurt depending on the specific airway corridor.
Austrian Alps
Distal views of the snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alpine range as you cross central Europe.
Balkan Interior
Rugged terrain and deep river valleys across Serbia and Bulgaria as the flight heads southeast.
Turkish Highlands
The lush, mountainous terrain of the MuΔla province during the final descent into Bodrum.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the winding Danube River and the dense forests of the Balkans. During the final approach, look for the contrast between the green hills and the deep blue of the Gulf of GΓΌllΓΌk.
