Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning vantage point for the snow-capped Austrian Alps and the dramatic coastline of the Aegean Sea upon departure.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Thasos Island

Immediate views of this lush emerald island and its marble quarries right after takeoff from Kavala.

🏔️

Mount Olympus

The home of the gods is often visible in the distance to the southwest during the initial climb.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged limestone peaks stretching across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina as you head northwest.

❄️

Austrian Alps

Breathtaking panoramas of the Hohe Tauern range, including some of Central Europe's highest glaciers.

💧

Lake Chiemsee

Bavaria's largest lake, known as the Bavarian Sea, visible during the final descent phase.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harshest glare while enjoying the sunset over the Alps. Keep your window shade open as you cross the Austrian border for the most dramatic mountain scenery. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Tauern range are particularly spectacular from this vantage point.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Rhodope Mountains

Dense, ancient forests and deep river gorges along the border between Greece and Bulgaria.

🏙️

Sofia Valley

Distances views of the Bulgarian capital and the surrounding Vitosha mountain massif.

🌊

Danube River

Catch glimpses of the winding blue Danube as it snakes through the Pannonian Basin.

🌾

Pannonian Basin

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Central Europe, showcasing intricate patchwork fields.

🏰

Inn River Valley

The scenic border region between Austria and Germany, featuring quaint Bavarian villages and historic castles.

The right side is better for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Look out for the Allianz Arena (Munich's stadium) during the landing sequence if the flight approach path comes from the north. This side offers a flatter but very green and orderly perspective of the European countryside.
