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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panorama of the Aegean archipelago shortly after takeoff, followed by the breathtakingly intricate Dalmatian Coast and the core of the Austrian Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏺

The Cyclades

Shortly after departure, look for the iconic scattered islands of the Aegean Sea under the Greek sun.

🌊

Dalmatian Archipelago

Enjoy a spectacular sequence of Croatia's thousands of islands and the stark limestone cliffs of the Dinaric Alps.

🏰

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, see the distant shimmering waters of the Northern Adriatic near the Gulf of Venice.

❄️

Austrian & Bavarian Alps

Fly directly over the high-altitude heart of the Alps, including views of snow-capped peaks like the Zugspitze.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Catch a glimpse of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the busy transit hubs of central Germany.

The right side is superior for morning or midday flights to avoid sun glare while photographing the Croatian coast. Keep your camera ready roughly 60-80 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic island views. In winter, the snow coverage on the Dinaric and Austrian Alps provides exceptional contrast.

Central Alps

Dramatic views of the jagged peaks and deep valleys of the Southern Alps as you transition into Central Europe.

🌲

Black Forest

Observe the dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany.

🚢

Rhine River

Trace the winding path of the Rhine, one of Europe's most significant and scenic industrial waterways.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean and the Alps. During the final descent into Eindhoven, this side often provides a broader view of the North Brabant countryside.
