Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers premium views of the highest Alpine peaks and a more scenic approach into the Mediterranean basin, featuring the Adriatic and Aegean seas.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Greater London

Potential views of the sprawl of London and the Thames Estuary during the southern exit from UK airspace.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Spectacular, close-up views of snow-capped peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

The turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian coast.

🏝️

Greek Archipelagos

Spot islands like Rhodes and Kos as you cross the Aegean Sea.

🛫

Paphos Coastline

A beautiful final approach over the Mediterranean with views of the Paphos lighthouse and harbor.

The right side is the 'sunny side' for most of this south-easterly route, so keep your window blind down when not looking out to avoid glare. The best mountain views occur approximately 90-120 minutes into the flight. For the best landing views at PFO, sit behind the wing to see the coastline as the plane banks for its final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

East Anglian Coast

As you head south from Leeds, see the distinctive coastline of Norfolk and the Wash.

🏰

Rhine River Valley

View the winding Rhine and the industrial heartlands of Western Germany.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Distant views of the rugged peaks in the eastern Alpine range.

🌲

Balkan Wilderness

Fly over the dense forests and rolling hills of Serbia and Bulgaria.

🏖️

Turkish Riviera

Catch the stunning meeting point of the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean in Southern Turkey.

On a morning flight, the left side will be shaded, which is better for photography. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Turkish mainland to the deep blue of the Mediterranean about 30 minutes before landing.
