Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea, the intricate archipelago of the Croatian coast, and the most dramatic peaks of the Central Alps.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏖️

Akamas Peninsula

Dramatic views of Cyprus's westernmost tip with its rugged cliffs and Blue Lagoon shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

A stunning mosaic of over a thousand Croatian islands scattered across the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

The Alps

Spectacular panoramic views of the snow-capped Dolomites and the high peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps.

🏰

Rhine Valley

The winding Rhine River featuring historic castles and lush vineyards as you traverse Germany.

🌷

Dutch Polders

The geometric precision of reclaimed land, canals, and windmills during the descent into Amsterdam.

To maximize your experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Adriatic coastline. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alpine peaks. Keep an eye out for the Venetian Lagoon just before entering the mountain range.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Taurus Mountains

Distant but impressive views of the rugged mountain ranges along the southern coast of Turkey.

🌲

Dinaric Alps

The wild, limestone landscapes and dense forests stretching across the Balkan Peninsula.

🌊

Lake Constance

A massive freshwater lake where the borders of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The impressive glass skyscrapers of Germany's financial capital, known as Mainhattan.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. You will get a better view of the inland European plains and the sprawling urban areas of Western Germany. During winter, look for the heavy snow cover on the Black Forest region as you approach the Netherlands.
