Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the Turkish coastline immediately after takeoff, followed by the jagged peaks of the Dinaric Alps and a superior view of the Amsterdam city center and its canal belt during the descent into Schiphol.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🇹🇷

Turkish Riviera

Dramatic views of the high cliffs and turquoise bays of the Dalaman and Marmaris regions.

🏛️

Mount Olympus

Spot the legendary home of the Greek gods rising prominently above the surrounding landscape.

🇭🇷

Dalmatian Coast

An incredible mosaic of thousands of Croatian islands and the terra-cotta roofs of coastal towns.

🚠

Austrian Alps

Direct views over the jagged peaks of the Tyrol region and the deep valleys of the Inn River.

🥨

Bavarian Landscape

Perfectly manicured German forests and the urban sprawl of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region.

🚲

Amsterdam City Center

Often provides the iconic view of the concentric canal rings and Central Station during the final approach.

Look out the window immediately after takeoff for a stunning view of the Turkish mainland. For the best views of the Alps, try to fly during mid-day when the sun is high to minimize shadows in the valleys. If landing on the Polderbaan (18R), the right side offers the best look at the Dutch polder landscape and Haarlem.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Dodecanese Islands

Aerial views of Symi and Tilos scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea shortly after departure.

⛰️

Pindus Mountain Range

The rugged 'Backbone of Greece' featuring limestone peaks and deep forested valleys.

🌊

Adriatic Horizon

Vast blue vistas where the Balkan mountains meet the shimmering Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Central Alps

Majestic snow-capped summits and glacial formations as the flight crosses into Central Europe.

🏰

Rhine River Valley

Follow the winding path of the Rhine through Germany, dotted with historic castles and vineyards.

Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed photos of the Aegean. For morning flights, the lighting on the Greek mountains is spectacular. During the descent into Amsterdam, watch for the industrial port areas and the North Sea coast if the winds favor a northern approach.
