Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of coastal vistas, including the dramatic Croatian islands and the Greek archipelago, before a scenic approach over the Aegean Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

The High Alps

Stunning vistas of the Swiss and Italian Alps, including major glaciers and iconic high-altitude peaks.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

The crystalline turquoise waters and thousands of white stone islands along the coast of Croatia.

🏛️

Gulf of Corinth

A deep inlet of the Ionian Sea separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland.

🌅

Aegean Islands

Scattered Greek islands like Chios and Lesbos appearing during the final descent into Turkey.

⛴️

Izmir Bay

A sweeping view of the Turkish coastline and the sprawling port city during the final approach.

The right side is unbeatable for coastal enthusiasts. Watch the flight map for the transition from the Alps into the Adriatic Sea; this is the visual highlight of the journey. For evening arrivals, this side offers spectacular sunsets over the Aegean.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Peak District

Rugged moorlands and green dales of Northern England visible shortly after departure from Manchester.

🥨

Rhine Valley

The winding river through Germany, flanked by historic towns and significant industrial hubs.

❄️

Austrian Alps

Dramatic views of the northern limestone peaks and steep glacial valleys near the Austrian border.

🌊

Danube River

The blue artery of Central Europe snaking through the plains of Hungary and Serbia.

🏰

Balkan Highlands

Dense forests and high-altitude ridges of the Dinaric Alps and Bulgarian mountain ranges.

Sit on the left for softer lighting and better photography opportunities without direct sun glare during daytime flights. On winter morning departures, this side provides excellent soft light over the snowy Alps.
