ORY → AYT
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
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.
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.
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.
