Which side of the plane to sit from Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the high French and Swiss Alps, the stunning turquoise Dalmatian Coast, and the sprawling archipelago of the Greek Islands before a scenic approach over the Turkish Riviera.
Parisian Outskirts
Frequent flight paths offer a distant view of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of the French capital.
Mont Blanc Massif
Spectacular vistas of the highest peaks in Western Europe as you cross the Alpine divide.
Dalmatian Coast
The crystalline waters and thousands of limestone islands along the Croatian and Montenegrin shoreline.
Aegean Sea
A stunning mosaic of Greek islands including the Cyclades scattered across the deep blue water.
Turkish Riviera
The dramatic coastline where the turquoise Mediterranean meets the steep cliffs of the Antalya province.
The right side is the premier choice for geography enthusiasts. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind or above you, illuminating the Alps and the Balkan coastline perfectly. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Adriatic Sea, as the island patterns are world-class. During landing, this side often provides a better view of the Antalya city center and the harbor if landing from the sea.
English Midlands
Views of the rolling green landscapes of central England and the outskirts of Greater London.
Central European Plains
Aerial views of the urban clusters of Belgium and the industrial heartlands of Germany.
Eastern Alpine Range
Snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Italian Alps providing a dramatic mountain landscape.
Taurus Mountains
The rugged, limestone peaks that guard the northern approach into the Antalya basin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the Taurus Mountains during the final descent into Antalya, often banking steeply to line up with the runway. Look out for the Danube River snaking through Central Europe mid-flight.
