Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Turkish coastline during departure and a front-row seat to the high peaks of the Swiss Alps, including the Eiger and Jungfrau, as you descend toward Basel.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท

Datรงa Peninsula

Incredible views of the narrow Turkish peninsula and the ancient ruins of Knidos at its tip.

โ›ต

Central Aegean Islands

A bird's-eye view of the white-washed villages of Mykonos, Naxos, and the surrounding archipelago.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Pindus Mountains

The dramatic 'Spine of Greece' featuring deep gorges and snow-dusted limestone peaks.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท

Dalmatian Coast

The stunning island-dotted coastline of Croatia and the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Milan and the Lakes

Views of the Lombardy plains, potentially including Lake Como or Lake Maggiore depending on the path.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Bernese Oberland

Spectacular close-up views of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Swiss airspace.

Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of the Turkish coast within the first 10 minutes of flight. As the aircraft begins its descent into EuroAirport, keep your camera ready for the high Swiss Alps; the lighting is particularly dramatic here in the late afternoon. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine valleys.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Rhodes Coastline

Aerial views of the island's western beaches and the blue waters of the Aegean immediately after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

Southern Cyclades

Glimpses of islands like Milos and the deep volcanic craters of the southern Aegean Sea.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Peloponnese Peninsula

The rugged, mountainous terrain of southern Greece and the historic Gulf of Corinth.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Apulian Coast

The 'heel' of Italy, featuring the white cities and turquoise waters near Brindisi.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Western Alps

Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped peaks of the Piedmont region and the Aosta Valley.

The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while crossing the Mediterranean. During the final approach to Basel, look for the Jura Mountains and the sprawling city of Mulhouse to the west. It also offers better views of the Italian coastline when crossing the Adriatic.
