Which side of the plane to sit from Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (Paderborn) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of dramatic landscapes, including the heart of the Alps, the jagged Italian Dolomites, and a stunning perspective of the Turkish Turquoise Coast during the final descent.
Munich & Bavarian Lakes
The Bavarian capital and the blue waters of Lake Starnberg and Ammersee.
The Dolomites
The iconic, sharp limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, often dusted with snow.
Dalmatian Coast
The turquoise waters and white pebble beaches of the Croatian Adriatic islands.
Rhodes & Dodecanese
The Greek islands scattered across the Aegean Sea as the plane crosses towards Turkey.
The Turquoise Coast
The dramatic cliffs and hidden bays of the Lycian Way near Fethiye and Kaş.
This is the premier side for photography. Morning flights provide crisp, front-lit views of the Alps. Watch specifically for the transition from the rugged Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea. As you approach Antalya, the plane often hugs the coastline, providing a 'top-down' view of the Mediterranean's famous turquoise edges.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Glaciated peaks of the Eastern Alps, including views towards the Grossglockner massif.
The Danube River
The winding silver thread of Europe's second-longest river near Belgrade and the Iron Gates.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged, rolling terrain of Bulgaria and the northern reaches of the Turkish Thrace.
Antalya Cityscape
The sprawling urban landscape and historic harbor visible as you banking for the final landing.
Sit here for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep an eye out for the crossing of the Danube River approximately mid-flight. During the descent, you will get an excellent view of the Taurus Mountains bordering the Antalya plateau.
