Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the stunning Dalmatian coastline in Croatia and the breathtaking final approach over the Bavarian lakes toward the Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🚢

Suez Canal Entry

A distant view of the southern entrance to the Suez Canal and the busy Gulf of Suez shipping lanes.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

One of the world's most beautiful coastal views, featuring hundreds of Croatian islands scattered in the blue Adriatic.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged, karst mountain landscapes stretching across Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.

💧

Lake Chiemsee

Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake is often visible just before the final turn toward Salzburg.

🏰

Salzburg Fortress

On the final approach, the Hohensalzburg Fortress and the historic Old Town are often visible to the right.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for European coastal geography. Keep your camera ready about 3 hours into the flight for the Croatian islands. On the approach into SZG, the right side usually gets the better view of the Alpine foothills and the city's historic center.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Hurghada Riviera

Aerial views of the turquoise coral reefs and resort strips of the Red Sea coast immediately after takeoff.

🌿

Nile Delta Edge

The stark contrast where the lush green vegetation of the Nile basin meets the yellow sands of the Sahara.

🇬🇷

Ionian Islands

Views of the western Greek islands like Zakynthos and Cephalonia during the Mediterranean crossing.

🌊

Adriatic Horizon

Panoramic views across the open Adriatic Sea as the flight moves toward Central Europe.

🏔️

Julian Alps

Dramatic limestone peaks of Slovenia and southern Austria as the plane begins its descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. It provides a great view of the Nile Delta's western edge. During descent, this side often sees the sunset over the Alps if flying in the late afternoon.
