Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers unparalleled views of the heart of the European Alps and the dramatic limestone peaks of the Taurus Mountains upon arrival in Turkey.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Paris Cityscape

Aerial view of the southern suburbs of Paris and the Seine river winding through the landscape shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Swiss and Austrian Alps

Breathtaking panorama of the central Alpine range, including snow-capped massifs and deep glacial valleys.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged karst terrain of the Dinaric Alps crossing through Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.

💧

Lake Ohrid

The ancient, deep blue waters of Lake Ohrid straddling the border of Albania and North Macedonia.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic descent over the high peaks of the Taurus range that surround the Antalya basin.

Sit on the left for the most consistent mountain views. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you while viewing the Alps, avoiding glare. During the descent into Antalya, the left side often provides a sweeping view of the city's residential districts and the mountain backdrop.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🍇

French Countryside

The rolling hills and structured vineyard patterns of the Burgundy and Jura regions.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

Possible distant views of the highest peak in Western Europe depending on the specific airway used.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning turquoise waters and white pebble beaches of the Croatian coastline along the Adriatic.

🏝️

Aegean Sea

A view of the scattered islands of the northern Aegean as the flight crosses into Turkish airspace.

🌊

Antalya Bay

A spectacular view of the Mediterranean coastline and the cliffs of Lara during the final approach.

The right side is excellent for coastal lovers. On the final approach into AYT, if the aircraft lands from the south (Runway 36), the right side offers a magnificent view of the Mediterranean coastline. Avoid late afternoon flights if you dislike direct sunlight, as the sun will be on this side for the duration of the journey.
