Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Aegean islands shortly after takeoff and an unparalleled perspective of the Dalmatian Coast and the Eastern Alps during the latter half of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Santorini & Cyclades

Breathtaking views of the volcanic caldera and the white-washed islands of the Aegean shortly after departure.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of hundreds of Croatian islands set against the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.

🏰

Dubrovnik

The historic 'Pearl of the Adriatic' is often visible as a tiny walled citadel along the Croatian shoreline.

🏔️

Grossglockner

Views of Austria's highest peak and the surrounding Hohe Tauern National Park mountains.

🏟️

Allianz Arena

During the final approach into Munich, look for the iconic glowing white stadium of FC Bayern Munich.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for island lovers. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the Croatian coast. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing for the best views of the Bavarian lakes like Chiemsee or Starnberg, depending on the specific arrival vector.

🏖️

Cretan Coastline

Aerial views of the rugged northern coast of Crete and the turquoise waters surrounding Heraklion.

🌊

Ionian Sea

Expansive views over the deep blue waters separating Greece and Italy, often clear and vibrant.

🏛️

Mainland Greece

Rugged mountainous terrain of the Pindus range as the flight heads north-northwest.

🇮🇹

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands may be visible across the Adriatic.

🏔️

Zillertal Alps

Dramatic views of the snow-capped Austrian peaks as the aircraft begins its descent into Bavaria.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, preventing harsh glare. This side is also excellent for spotting the Italian coastline across the Adriatic Sea if the flight path stays more westerly. Look out for the shimmer of Lake Garda just before entering the Alpine corridor.
