Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled panoramic experience, featuring the snow-capped High Alps, the turquoise Adriatic coastline, and the intricate patterns of the Aegean islands during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

High Alps

Spectacular views of the Swiss and Austrian central massifs, featuring year-round snow and glaciers.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen along the Adriatic coast.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning contrast of white limestone cliffs and deep turquoise waters along the Croatian and Montenegrin shoreline.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of the scattered Cyclades and Dodecanese islands as you approach the Turkish coast.

⚓

Izmir Gulf

The final descent offers a breathtaking view of the Karaburun Peninsula and the dense urban landscape of Izmir.

Secure a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. This side receives direct sunlight for much of the journey, so bring sunglasses. The approach into ADB often involves a sweeping turn over the coast, making the right side ideal for city photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Bavarian Alps

Aerial views of the northern Alpine foothills and the Zugspitze region near the German-Austrian border.

🏙️

Vienna Basin

Depending on the flight path, the sprawl of Vienna and the winding Danube River may be visible to the northeast.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Dramatic, forested ridges across Serbia and Bulgaria providing a rugged interior landscape.

🌊

Chalkidiki Peninsula

The distinct 'three fingers' of land extending into the Northern Aegean Sea near Thessaloniki.

The left side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the transition from the flat European plains to the jagged Balkan peaks. Use a polarizing filter for photos to cut through the haze over the Aegean.
