Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Milas Bodrum International Airport (Bodrum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic high-altitude peaks of the Alps and the breathtaking transition from the Balkan mountains to the turquoise Aegean Sea and its scattered islands.

Greater London
On clear days, the Thames Estuary and the London skyline are visible as the flight exits UK airspace.
Swiss & Austrian Alps
A stunning panorama of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe, usually around 1.5 to 2 hours into the flight.
Dalmatian Coastline
The turquoise waters and hundreds of white-shored islands along the Croatian Adriatic coast.
Aegean Islands
Iconic views of Greek islands like Samos and Kos appearing as the descent into Bodrum begins.
Bodrum Peninsula
The final approach offers a spectacular view of the Mediterranean bays and the white-washed houses of the Turkish Riviera.
The right side is the scenic winner for this route. Seats behind the wing are best to avoid engine obstruction during the Alpine crossing. For the best photography of the Greek islands and the Bodrum coastline, use a polarizer to cut through the sea haze. Be prepared for strong afternoon sun on this side, so keep your window shade ready.

Peak District National Park
Aerial views of the rolling green hills and reservoirs of Northern England shortly after departure.
Port of Rotterdam
The massive scale of one of the world's largest shipping ports and the complex Dutch canal systems.
Munich & Bavaria
Glances of the sprawling Bavarian capital and the orderly German countryside during mid-flight.
Danube River
The blue ribbon of the Danube winding through the heart of Central Europe and the Balkans.
Balkan Mountain Range
The rugged and often snow-dusted peaks of Bulgaria and Serbia as you cross toward Turkey.
Choose the left side for more consistent lighting and to avoid the direct glare of the sun when flying south-east. It is particularly good for spotting the urban sprawl of European cities like Brussels and Munich in the distance. During evening flights, the left side offers a beautiful twilight glow over the Black Sea horizon.
