Which side of the plane to sit from Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Right Side is the clear winner for its unparalleled view of Mount Olympus and the rugged Dinaric Alps throughout the Balkan stretch.

Munich & Bavarian Alps

Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek Gods; its massive limestone massif is the crown jewel of this flight route.
