Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of scenic transitions, starting with the Swiss Alps, followed by the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, and finishing with a dramatic coastal approach into Antalya over the Mediterranean Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏔️

Swiss Central Alps

Stunning vistas of the Bernese Oberland and Central Swiss peaks early in the flight.

💧

Lake Garda

The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake are often visible as the flight crosses the Po Valley.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

The intricate network of Croatian islands and white pebble beaches along the Adriatic Sea.

🌊

Ionian Islands

Clear views of Corfu and the Greek coastline as the path trends southeast.

🏖️

Turkish Riviera

Panoramic views of the Gulf of Antalya and the shimmering Mediterranean shoreline during descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sun reflecting off the Adriatic and Aegean seas. On the final approach into Antalya, aircraft often perform a U-turn over the sea, providing a sweeping view of the city skyline and the historic Old Harbor.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Tyrolean Alps

Spectacular views of the jagged peaks in Western Austria shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged karst landscapes and deep valleys across Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.

🏙️

Sofia Plateau

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

🏔️

Western Taurus Range

A dramatic descent over the snow-capped or rocky peaks of the Taurus Mountains before the final approach.

Sit on the left for morning departures to minimize direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 45 to 60 minutes after takeoff for the high Austrian peaks. During the winter months, the snow cover on the Balkan mountains provides excellent contrast for photography.
