Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Greek Ionian islands, the stunning Croatian archipelago along the Dalmatian coast, and a direct perspective of the jagged Eastern Alps and the Rhine river system.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Ionian Archipelago

Direct views of Lefkada, Corfu, and the rugged coastline of Epirus shortly after departure.

🇭🇷

Dalmatian Coast

The spectacular sight of thousands of Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Dolomites and Eastern Alps

Breathtaking views of the limestone peaks of the Dolomites and the high Austrian Alpine ranges.

🏰

Middle Rhine Valley

The winding Rhine River featuring historic castles and dense forests throughout Western Germany.

🇳🇱

Dutch Polders

The iconic geometric patterns of reclaimed land, canals, and windmills during the approach to Schiphol.

The right side is best for morning flights to avoid glare while photographing the Balkans. Pay close attention approximately 50 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Croatian islands, followed immediately by the Alpine crossing. During the landing at AMS, this side often provides the best view of the Amsterdam city center depending on the active runway.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Ionian Sea Vistas

Deep azure waters of the Mediterranean stretching toward the horizon immediately after takeoff.

🇮🇹

Italian Adriatic Coast

Distant views of the Italian coastline, including the Gargano Peninsula and potentially the Venetian Lagoon.

🏔️

Western Alpine Peaks

Aerial perspective of the high-altitude glaciers and snowy summits of the Swiss and Italian Alps.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the cluster of skyscrapers in Germany's financial hub is visible mid-route.

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

As the plane descends, the massive industrial infrastructure of Europe's largest port comes into view.

Sit in the rear of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. This side is superior for sunset views on evening flights, as the sun will be positioned to the west over the Mediterranean and Western Europe.
