HRG → SZG
Which side of the plane to sit from Hurghada International Airport (Hurghada) to Salzburg Airport (Salzburg)?
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.
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.
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.
