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

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the turquoise Croatian coastline, the iconic Venetian lagoon, and the most dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomite mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏝️

Cyclades Archipelago

Early in the flight, look down for the white-washed villages and volcanic geography of islands like Naxos and Amorgos.

🇭🇷

Dalmatian Coast

A stunning stretch of thousands of limestone islands and turquoise waters along the coast of Croatia.

🛶

Venice Lagoon

The unmistakable 'S' shape of the Grand Canal and the sprawling islands of Venice are often visible as you cross the Adriatic.

🏔️

The Dolomites

A highlight of the trip, featuring the jagged, pale peaks of the Italian Alps known for their vertical walls and deep valleys.

⛵

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria is visible just before descending toward Belgium.

This side is prime for coastal enthusiasts. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Croatian islands. For the best views of the Dolomites, monitor your flight map as you cross the Italian border; the lighting is particularly spectacular on late afternoon flights when the 'Enrosadira' (alpenglow) can turn the peaks pink.

🏛️

Athens & Attica

During the first hour, view the sprawling Greek capital and the historical Saronic Gulf as the flight tracks northwest.

🌊

Ionian Sea

Deep blue vistas as you cross the sea between Greece and Italy, often spotting the islands of Lefkada and Corfu.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland and major glaciers like the Aletsch if the path tracks toward France.

🌲

The Black Forest

The dense, rolling green canopy of southwestern Germany creates a textured landscape as you enter the final cruise phase.

🏰

Meuse River Valley

The winding river and industrial heritage of the Wallonia region are visible during the descent into Liège.

Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the high Alps isn't obstructed. On morning flights, the left side is the 'shadow' side, which is ideal for photography as it reduces glare on the window and provides high-contrast views of the mountain ridges.
