Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Transylvanian Alps in Romania, the stunning Turkish Riviera coastline, and the iconic approach over the Larnaca Salt Lake.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

Transylvanian Alps

Spectacular views of the Făgăraș Mountains, the highest peaks in Romania, often snow-capped in winter.

πŸ’§

Danube River

Cross the winding blue ribbon of the Danube, which forms the natural border between Romania and Bulgaria.

πŸŒ…

Turkish Turquoise Coast

Breathtaking views of the rugged Mediterranean coastline near Antalya and the Gulf of Antalya.

🌊

Mediterranean Expanse

A long stretch of deep sapphire waters as the flight leaves the Turkish mainland towards Cyprus.

🦩

Larnaca Salt Lake

Just before touchdown, look down at the distinctive white salt flats, home to flamingos in the winter months.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. It also provides the best perspective of the Southern Carpathians and the dramatic descent into Larnaca, often passing right over the coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Eastern Carpathian Mountains

Early in the flight, observe the dense forests and rolling peaks of the Ukrainian and Romanian borderlands.

πŸ™οΈ

Bucharest Cityscape

A distant view of the Romanian capital's sprawling urban layout and the massive Palace of the Parliament.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

As the plane transits Bulgaria, the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea is visible to the east.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Taurus Peaks

Rugged, high-altitude limestone mountains dominate the landscape while overflying southern Turkey.

πŸ–οΈ

Famagusta Bay

On the final descent, catch views of the eastern Cypriot coastline and the ghost town of Varosha.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for better views of the Black Sea coastline. Keep an eye out for the Bosphorus Strait in the far distance if the flight path stays easterly over Turkey.
