Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more consistent sequence of geographic drama, from the rugged mountains of the Balkans to a superior angle for viewing the Vienna city center during standard landing patterns.

Rhodes West Coast
Aerial views of the ancient ruins of Kamiros and the turquoise waters of the Dodecanese.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic limestone peaks of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina provide a jagged horizon.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake appears as a distinctive long, narrow turquoise ribbon.
Vienna City View
On many approaches (Runway 34 or 29), the left side offers a clear view of the city center and the Danube Tower.
Wienerwald
The lush green hills of the Vienna Woods mark the final transition into the Austrian capital.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the pilot aligns with the airport, often passing directly west of the city.

Turkish Riviera
Immediately after takeoff, witness the jagged Datça Peninsula and the coastline of mainland Turkey.
Aegean Archipelago
Views of the Cyclades islands scattered across the deep blue sea, including Amorgos and Mykonos.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods can often be seen rising above the clouds to the west.
Danube Bend
The majestic Danube river twisting through the plains of Serbia and Hungary.
Lake Neusiedl
The vast, shallow steppe lake surrounded by reed beds and famous Austrian vineyards near the border.
The right side is perfect for early morning departures to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Aegean Sea. Look out for the intricate coastline of Anatolia shortly after leaving Rhodos, which stays in view for several minutes.
