Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a magnificent vantage point of the stunning Dalmatian Coast and the best lighting conditions for photography during the mid-day crossing of the Alps.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Aegean Archipelago

Early views of the Dodecanese islands including Symi and Tilos shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Ionian Coastline

A chance to see the island of Corfu and the rugged western coast of Greece.

🚤

Dalmatian Islands

Exceptional views of Croatia's thousand islands and the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

The High Alps

Spectacular crossing of the main Alpine ridge with views of glaciers and snow-capped peaks.

🌲

Odenwald Forest

Deep green vistas of the German low mountain range during the final descent.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Adriatic coastline. On afternoon flights, the sun is to the south and west, meaning the left side has the best light while the right side may face direct glare. Look for the unique fjord-like Bay of Kotor as you pass Montenegro.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏖️

Turkish Coastline

Direct views of the Datca Peninsula and the dramatic Marmaris coastline upon departure.

⛰️

Balkan Interior

Rugged mountain scenery across the heart of North Macedonia and Serbia.

❄️

Tyrolean Alps

The eastern stretches of the Alps including the Karwendel and Zugspitze mountains.

🥨

Bavarian Plateau

A patchwork of fields, lakes, and traditional villages as you enter German airspace.

🏙️

Main River Valley

Aerial views of the winding Main river and Frankfurt's urban sprawl on final approach.

The right side is superior for viewing the Turkish Riviera immediately after takeoff. If the visibility is high, keep an eye out for the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, as you cross from Austria. Late evening flights may offer a beautiful sunset view over the wing.
