Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the stunning Mediterranean coastline upon departure, the rugged peaks of the Balkan Peninsula, and the iconic Oresund Bridge during the descent into Copenhagen.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Alanya Coastline

Dramatic views of the Alanya Castle and the turquoise Cleopatra Beach shortly after takeoff from Gazipaşa.

🏔️

Western Taurus Mountains

Aerial perspective of the jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Mediterranean highland range.

🏔️

Rila and Pirin Ranges

Glacial lakes and snowy summits of the highest mountains in the Balkans as you cross Bulgarian airspace.

🏙️

Prague and Central Europe

On clear days, the red roofs of Prague and the sprawling urban landscape of Berlin are visible as the flight heads north.

🌉

The Øresund Bridge

The massive bridge-tunnel complex connecting Sweden and Denmark is visible on the final approach into Kastrup.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Balkan mountains. During the descent into CPH, keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for the bridge view.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
💧

Lake Beyşehir

The largest freshwater lake in Turkey, located in the Isparta region, glows blue against the Anatolian landscape.

🌊

The Danube River

Observe the winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through Hungary and Slovakia.

⛰️

The Carpathian Mountains

Views of the forested arc of the Carpathians stretching across Romania and Poland to the east.

🌲

Northern European Plains

The transition from the rugged South to the vast, patchwork agricultural fields of Northern Germany and Poland.

🇸🇪

Malmö Skyline

Views of the Turning Torso skyscraper and the Swedish coastline as the plane banks for its final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a more serene view of the Great European Plain. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, look out for the distant glint of the Black Sea during the first hour of the journey.
