Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, including the core of the Austrian Alps and a spectacular view of Mount Olympus during the descent into Thessaloniki.
Search flights from NRN to SKG
Bavarian Foothills
Rolling green hills and occasional glimpses of remote castles in Southern Germany.
Central Alps
Spectacular panoramic views of the highest mountain ranges in Austria.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic karst landscape and jagged limestone peaks stretching across the Balkans.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, standing prominently as the highest peak in Greece.
Thermaic Gulf
The deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea as the plane banks for its landing sequence.
The absolute highlight is Mount Olympus; watch for it to the southwest about 15-20 minutes before landing. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-day flights provide the most overhead lighting, reducing shadows in the deep valleys.
Book Hotels in Thessaloniki
Ruhr Metropolis
Dense urban sprawl of the industrial heartland of Germany shortly after takeoff.
Hohe Tauern
Glaciated peaks and high-altitude valleys of the Austrian Eastern Alps.
Vardar River
The winding river path carving through the rugged landscapes of North Macedonia.
Thessaloniki Cityscape
Views of the Byzantine walls, the White Tower, and the waterfront during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is particularly rewarding during the final approach into SKG, as you often fly directly past the city center and the harbor before touching down.
