HAM → AYT
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Eastern Alps mid-flight and an unparalleled perspective of the Turkish Turquoise Coast and Antalya Bay during the final descent.
Harz Mountains
Early in the flight, view the dense forests and the Brocken peak rising above the North German Plain.
Eastern Alps
Spectacular distant views of the Austrian Alps, including snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys.
Vienna & Danube Bend
A clear view of the Austrian capital and the dramatic turn of the Danube river as it enters the Pannonian Basin.
Aegean Fringe
Glimpses of the Greek coastline and the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea as you cross the Mediterranean.
Antalya Bay
A breathtaking approach over the Gulf of Antalya, showcasing the city's cliffs, beaches, and the Taurus Mountains.
The right side is the definitive choice for the landing at AYT; the aircraft usually performs a large U-turn over the Mediterranean, giving passengers on the right an incredible view of the turquoise water and the city skyline. Sit behind the wing for the best photographic composition of the coast and the Taurus Mountains.
Elbe River Basin
Aerial views of the winding Elbe river and the lush northern German lowlands shortly after takeoff from Hamburg.
Prague Cityscape
Depending on the specific airway, the historic center of Prague and its many bridges are often visible to the east.
The Danube
The flight path frequently crosses or parallels the Danube river, offering views of the Hungarian plains and Budapest.
Balkan Mountains
Dramatic views over the rugged peaks of the Stara Planina range across Bulgaria and Serbia.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, arid high-altitude landscape of central Turkey as the plane begins its initial descent.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct architecture of Eastern European cities mid-flight, and watch the landscape change from green forests to the rugged, dry terrain of the Anatolian interior.
