Which side of the plane to sit from Mytilene International Airport (Mytilini) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the stunning Adriatic coastline, the unique layout of Venice, and the most dramatic sections of the Alps.
Sporades Islands
Glittering scattered islands in the northern Aegean Sea shortly after takeoff.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, standing as the highest peak in Greece.
Adriatic Archipelago
Spectacular views of the Croatian islands and the turquoise Dalmatian coast.
Venice Lagoon
A clear bird's-eye view of the historic 'S' shaped Grand Canal and the Venetian islands.
Italian Alps
The sharp, snow-draped limestone spires of the Dolomites and central Alpine range.
Lake Constance
A massive international lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Choose the left side for morning departures to capture the best light on the Adriatic coast without glare. During the final hour, watch for the Rhine river winding through the European heartland. Ensure your window is clear, as the high-altitude views of the Alps are the journey's highlight.
Anatolian Coast
The rugged cliffs and deep bays of the Turkish mainland near Ayvalik.
Chalkidiki Peninsula
The famous 'three-fingered' peninsula of northern Greece extending into the sea.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, forested interior mountains of the Balkan Peninsula.
Munich Area
Views of the Bavarian capital and the distinctive architecture of the Allianz Arena.
Ruhr Valley
The sprawling industrial heart of Germany with its complex infrastructure.
Dutch Polders
The intricate geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals as you descend into Schiphol.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight, which will be on the opposite side. It offers superior views of the Bavarian landscape and the industrial powerhouses of Germany. Keep an eye out for the unique patterns of the Dutch landscape during the last 20 minutes of the flight.
