Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior visual sequence, transitioning from the lush Nile Delta and the stunning Adriatic coastline to a spectacular crossing over the heart of the Austrian Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌿

Nile Delta Contrast

The stark boundary where the golden Egyptian desert meets the vibrant green agricultural lands of the Nile Delta.

🏝️

Crete & Greek Islands

Crystal-clear views of the rugged Cretan coastline and the scattered islands of the Ionian Sea.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

Breathtaking perspectives of the turquoise waters and thousands of limestone islands along the Croatian coast.

🏔️

The Austrian Alps

Dramatic, snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys as the flight traverses Central Europe.

🛶

Wannsee and Havel

The expansive lakes and dense forests of southwestern Berlin during the final approach.

Book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On morning flights, the left side remains shaded, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Adriatic and the Alps. Look out approximately 30 minutes after takeoff for the Nile and 3.5 hours in for the Alpine peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🪸

Red Sea Reefs

Aerial views of the vibrant coral reefs and turquoise lagoons surrounding Hurghada immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Sinai Mountains

The jagged, sun-scorched peaks of the Sinai Peninsula visible across the Gulf of Suez.

🏛️

Aegean Horizons

Distant views of the Turkish coastline and the historical islands of the eastern Aegean Sea.

🏰

Balkan Interior

The dense forests and rolling mountain ranges of Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary.

🗼

Berlin Cityscape

A potential view of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and central Berlin if the arrival route circles the city.

The right side is best for early-flight desert landscapes. However, be aware that afternoon flights can suffer from intense glare and heat on this side. If landing toward the west at Tegel, the right side often catches the iconic Berlin city center skyline just before touchdown.
