Our Recommendation
9.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🚢

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.
