Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the intricately indented Dalmatian coastline and the dramatic, jagged limestone formations of the Dolomites as you cross into Central Europe.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Taygetos Mountains

The rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Peloponnese's highest mountain range visible shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

A stunning sequence of thousands of Croatian islands and turquoise bays stretching along the Adriatic.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The unique, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, known for their sharp vertical walls and dramatic spires.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Views of 'Mainhattan' and the dense urban landscape of the Rhine-Main metropolitan region.

🌊

Markermeer

As the plane turns for its final approach, look for the vast inland sea and the historic city of Amsterdam.

The right side is the 'scenic winner' for its views of the Balkan coastline. For the best lighting on the Dolomites and Croatian islands, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes before landing for the best Alpine views.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Messenian Gulf

Immediate views of the deep blue waters and the Mani Peninsula shoreline upon departure from Kalamata.

🏝️

Ionian Islands

Aerial perspectives of Zakynthos and Kefalonia as the plane climbs over the Ionian Sea.

🏔️

Central Alps

Sweeping vistas of the Swiss and Austrian Alpine massifs, including glaciated peaks and deep valleys.

🏰

Upper Rhine Valley

The meandering Rhine River and the rolling hills of the Black Forest region in Germany.

🚜

Dutch Polders

The iconic geometric patterns of reclaimed land and drainage canals as you descend into the Netherlands.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for seeing the expansive blue of the Ionian Sea and the massive scale of the high Alps. During the descent into Schiphol, the left side often provides a clearer view of the North Sea coastline if landing on the Polderbaan (18R).
