RHO β BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Balkan coastline and the jagged peaks of the Eastern Alps, followed by a better chance of seeing the Brussels skyline on approach.
Anatolian Coastline
Striking views of the rugged Turkish peninsulas and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of GΓΆkova shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Archipelago
An incredible sequence of Croatian islands and the historic coastal cities of Split and Zadar.
The Dolomites
Direct views of the unique, jagged limestone formations of the Italian and Austrian Alps.
Bavarian Landscapes
Look down upon the dense forests and structured farmland of Southern Germany and the outskirts of Munich.
Brussels Cityscape
A high probability of seeing the Atomium and the Grand Place during the final approach into BRU.
The right side is best for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. The Balkan coastline is the star attraction roughly one hour into the flight; keep your camera ready for the intricate patterns of the Croatian islands. Watch for the Rhine River as you transition from German to Belgian airspace.
Aegean Archipelago
Enjoy views of the scattered Cyclades islands like Naxos and Paros nestled in deep blue waters.
Athens & Saronic Gulf
A distant but clear view of the Greek capital and the busy maritime traffic near Piraeus.
Western Alpine Peaks
Majestic views of the snow-capped Swiss Alps and major glaciers like the Aletsch on the horizon.
Belgian Ardennes
The lush green forests and rolling hills of Wallonia become visible during the initial descent phase.
Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Mediterranean islands. On afternoon flights, this side experiences less direct sun glare, making it easier to spot the distant peaks of the Swiss Alps as you cross central Europe.
