Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Swiss Alps and an unparalleled view of the Adriatic coastline and Aegean islands during the descent into Turkey.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

English Channel

Views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the French coastline near Calais.

🏔️

The High Alps

Spectacular panoramas of the snow-capped Swiss and Italian Alps, often including famous peaks like the Matterhorn.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning turquoise waters and hundreds of islands along the coastlines of Croatia and Montenegro.

🇬🇷

Aegean Archipelago

A bird's eye view of the Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea as you near Turkish airspace.

🏖️

Bodrum Peninsula

Incredible views of the turquoise bays and white-washed coastal villages of the Turkish Riviera just before landing.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best experience, try to sit behind the wing to capture the contrast between the engine and the turquoise Aegean water. Be aware that morning flights will have significant sun exposure on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌳

English Midlands

Aerial views of the patchwork fields of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Northern Alps

Glances of the rugged Austrian or German Alpine peaks depending on the specific traffic corridor used.

⛰️

Balkan Ranges

The deep valleys and forested mountains of the interior Balkan Peninsula as you cross towards the southeast.

🏙️

Milas Basin

Views of the Turkish interior and the industrial landscape surrounding the Milas region during final approach.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a more consistent view of the continental European interior and avoids the harsh reflection off the Aegean Sea during the descent.
