Which side of the plane to sit from Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior visual sequence featuring the turquoise Aegean islands, the spectacular Adriatic coastline of Croatia, and a breathtaking traversal over the heart of the Alps.
Rhodes and Dodecanese
Clear views of the historic island of Rhodes and the surrounding crystal-blue waters of the Aegean Sea shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate, island-dotted coastline of Croatia and the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.
The High Alps
A stunning crossing of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps, showcasing snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and deep alpine valleys.
Bavarian Countryside
Rolling green hills, fairy-tale villages, and the sprawling forests of southern Germany during the mid-flight transition.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. The Alpine crossing is the highlight; ensure your window is clear about 2 hours into the flight. During winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Alps are particularly photogenic.
Troodos Mountains
A final view of Cyprus's pine-covered interior and its highest peaks immediately following departure from Larnaca.
Turkish Riviera
The rugged, indented coastline of Southwest Turkey, featuring hidden bays and the peninsulas near Bodrum.
Budapest & Danube
Depending on the specific airway, look for the 'S' curve of the Danube River and the urban sprawl of the Hungarian capital.
Harz Mountains
The dense forests and granite peaks of the Harz range, appearing as a dark green island in the North German Plain during descent.
The right side is excellent for afternoon departures as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Look out for the Turkish coast approximately 20 minutes after departure. This side also offers better views of the Northern German plains as you approach Hannover.
