Which side of the plane to sit from Istanbul Airport (Istanbul) to Süleyman Demirel International Airport (Isparta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the iconic Uludağ mountain range and the dramatic tectonic lakes of the Burdur basin during the final descent into Isparta.
Princes' Islands
Clear views of the nine-island archipelago in the Sea of Marmara as the plane heads south.
Uludağ Mountain
The highest peak in Western Anatolia, often snow-capped, appearing majestic near Bursa.
Lake Burdur
A striking saline lake that contrasts sharply with the surrounding arid mountain terrain.
Isparta Rose Gardens
If flying in May or June, look for the patchwork of pink rose fields visible during the low-altitude approach.
Sit on the right for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Aegean hinterland. Ensure your window is clean for photos of Uludağ, which is the highlight of the mid-flight segment.
Bosphorus Silhouette
A distant view of the Istanbul strait and its iconic bridges shortly after takeoff from IST.
Gulf of Izmit
Aerial view of the industrial heartland and busy shipping lanes of the eastern Marmara.
Phrygian Valley
The rolling hills and ancient agricultural landscapes of the Central Anatolian plateau.
Lake Eğirdir
Visuals of the fourth largest lake in Turkey, known for its changing shades of turquoise and blue.
Choose a morning flight to see the Anatolian plateau illuminated by the rising sun. During the final approach, this side provides a glimpse of the jagged peaks bordering the Lakes Region.
