Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic journey over the Balkan coastline and the heart of the Eastern Alps, featuring the dramatic Dalmatian islands and the snow-capped Austrian peaks.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Pindus Mountains

The rugged, wild mountain range of mainland Greece visible during the initial ascent.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

An incredible view of Croatia's thousands of islands and the limestone Dinaric Alps.

🏔️

Tyrolian Alps

Direct views over the high-altitude peaks of Austria and Southern Germany.

🌆

Frankfurt Skyline

Depending on the airway, the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers can often be spotted in the distance.

🌷

Dutch Polders

The iconic geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals as you enter Dutch airspace.

The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. For the best lighting on the Croatian islands, choose a morning or midday flight to avoid heavy shadows. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic Alpine transitions.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

Corfu Island

Aerial view of the 'Emerald Isle' and the Kerkyra coastline shortly after departure.

🌊

Adriatic Expanse

Vast views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea with the distant Italian horizon on clear days.

🏔️

Swiss-Austrian Border

Glances of the high Alpine peaks and the Rhine valley as you transition into Central Europe.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive body of water bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria is often visible to the west.

🚢

North Sea Approaches

Views of the Dutch coastline and the busy shipping lanes near the port of Rotterdam.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Adriatic and North Seas. This side is also better for spotting the sprawling industrial landscape of the Netherlands during the final approach into Schiphol if landing on the Polderbaan.
