Which side of the plane to sit from Alexander the Great International Airport (Kavala) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual experience, combining the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea with the dramatic peaks of the Alps and the expansive Lake Constance near the arrival.
Adriatic Coastline
Striking views of the turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian and Dalmatian coast.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged limestone peaks extending through Montenegro and Bosnia offer dramatic shadow play.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted to the west.
Lake Constance
A massive border lake shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, appearing shortly before descent.
Mount Olympus
If the flight path trends slightly south after takeoff, the legendary home of the gods is visible in the distance.
For the best lighting, a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind the plane or to the right, illuminating the Adriatic coast. In winter, the snow-capped Julian Alps are a major highlight; choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.
Rhodope Mountains
Lush, green mountain ranges visible immediately after departing from Kavala.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers marking the Serbian capital is a distinct landmark.
Austrian Alps
Direct views of the high peaks of the Hohe Tauern and potentially the Grossglockner.
Bavarian Landscapes
Neat grids of German farmland and the rolling foothills of the Bavarian Alps.
Munich Cityscape
Depending on the specific airway, the Allianz Arena and Munich city center may be visible.
The right side is excellent for seeing the deep valleys of the Austrian Alps. Use a flight tracking app to see if the route passes directly over the Danube, as the river's winding path provides excellent orientation. Be aware of midday glare when flying north-west.
