Which side of the plane to sit from Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring a more direct view of the Central Alps, the breathtaking Adriatic coastline of Croatia, and the dramatic descent over the Turquoise Coast into Antalya.
Zeeland Coastline
The sprawling dams and islands of the Delta Works visible as the plane climbs south.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Central Alpine Peaks
Panoramic views of the highest Swiss and Austrian peaks, often snow-capped year-round.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The stunning blue waters of the Adriatic Sea dotted with hundreds of Croatian islands.
Turkish Riviera
A magnificent final approach over the Taurus Mountains and the sparkling Gulf of Antalya.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Antalya, as it usually provides the best view of the coastline and the city's beaches. Be aware that on midday flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, so keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to stay cool.
Rhine-Meuse Delta
Intricate network of Dutch waterways and industrial ports visible shortly after departure from Rotterdam.
Bavarian Plains
Rolling landscapes of Southern Germany with glimpses of historic cities like Frankfurt or Munich depending on the specific flight path.
Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of the northern Alpine ridges and deep glacial valleys.
Sofia Cityscape
A clear view of the Bulgarian capital and the surrounding Vitosha Mountain massif.
Inner Anatolia
The rugged, high-altitude terrain of central Turkey before the descent begins.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides excellent lighting for photographing the Alpine peaks and the Balkan landscape without the harsh shadows found on the southern side.
