RHO β†’ BOH

Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Balkan coastline and the most rugged sections of the Alps, followed by a clear view of the English coastline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡·

Turkish Riviera

Immediately after takeoff, witness the rugged, indented coastline of the DatΓ§a Peninsula and the nearby island of Symi.

🏰

Dalmatian Coast

One of Europe's most beautiful sights: the walled city of Dubrovnik and the hundreds of islands along the Croatian shore.

πŸ”οΈ

The Dolomites

Direct views over the jagged, limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, offering incredible textures and shadows.

🌲

The Black Forest

Vast stretches of dense evergreen canopy and rolling hills as the flight crosses from Central Europe toward France.

🚒

The English Channel

A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes before crossing the coastline near the Solent.

The right side is the 'scenic winner' for the middle third of the flight. The transition from the Adriatic Sea to the Alpine peaks is spectacular. Aim for a morning or midday flight to have the sun behind or above the plane, perfectly illuminating the Croatian islands and the mountain ridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Cyclades Archipelago

Aerial views of the deep blue Aegean Sea dotted with the white-washed villages of islands like Milos and Serifos.

🌊

Ionian Coastline

The lush green landscapes of Corfu and the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea as the flight heads toward the Adriatic.

πŸ”οΈ

Western Alps

Distances views of the snow-capped Swiss and French peaks, including potential glimpses of Mont Blanc on clear days.

πŸ—Ό

Parisian Outskirts

On many routes to the UK, you can spot the sprawling urban layout of Paris and the winding Seine River to the north.

🐚

The Needles

During the descent into Bournemouth, look for the iconic chalk stacks and lighthouse at the tip of the Isle of Wight.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Isle of Wight during the final descent into BOH. If you are flying in the late afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which may cause significant glare for photography.
