Which side of the plane to sit from Maastricht Aachen Airport (Maastricht) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring a stunning traversal of the high Alps, the winding Dalmatian coastline of Croatia, and a breathtaking approach over the Turkish Turquoise Coast.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible before entering the high Alps.
Swiss-Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers, often passing near the Arlberg region.
Dalmatian Coastline
The intricate network of thousands of Croatian islands and the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Aegean Archipelago
A bird's eye view of the Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea during the mid-flight transit.
The Turquoise Coast
Stunning coastal views of the Mediterranean as the plane turns for its final approach over the Gulf of Antalya.
The right side is iconic for the descent into Antalya, often providing a view of the famous Lara Beach and the Lower Duden Waterfalls cascading into the sea. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind or above you, saturating the colors of the Mediterranean and the Alpine lakes perfectly for photography.
Limburg Hills
Aerial views of the rolling hills and green landscapes surrounding Maastricht and the Meuse river valley shortly after takeoff.
Tyrolian Alps
Extensive vistas of the rugged Austrian peaks and deep glacial valleys as the flight crosses into Central Europe.
Balkan Interior
Views of the diverse topography of Serbia and North Macedonia, including the vast Pannonian Basin.
Taurus Range
Dramatic limestone peaks of the Western Taurus Mountains as the aircraft begins its descent into the Antalya region.
Antalya Cityscape
A view of the sprawling urban layout and northern districts of Antalya during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare while viewing the Alps. This side is also excellent for spotting the high-altitude lakes of the Balkan interior. Ensure a window seat forward of the wing to keep the engine from obstructing the mountain horizons.
