RTM → RHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Austrian Alps and provides a front-row seat to the scattered gems of the Aegean Sea during the descent into Rhodes.
Dutch Delta
Aerial views of the intricate Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta and the polder landscapes shortly after departure from RTM.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking vistas of the snow-capped Tyrolean peaks and deep alpine valleys approximately halfway through the flight.
Dalmatian Coast
The rugged, turquoise coastline of Croatia and its hundreds of islands as the plane traverses the Adriatic.
Cyclades Archipelago
A stunning sequence of white-and-blue islands including Mykonos and Naxos visible as you cross the Aegean.
Northern Rhodes
An excellent view of the northern coastline of Rhodes and the Mandraki harbor during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Alps. Keep a lookout approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. During the final 20 minutes, the left side usually offers the best perspective of the smaller Dodecanese islands.
Port of Rotterdam
An impressive view of the massive industrial shipping infrastructure and container terminals right after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
Distant views of iconic peaks like the Jungfrau and Matterhorn, depending on the specific air corridor used.
Venetian Lagoon
Possible sightings of the Italian coast and the historic lagoons near Venice if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Peloponnese
The mountainous terrain of southern Greece and the Corinth Canal area often appear to the right of the aircraft.
Symi Island
The colorful, rocky island of Symi is often clearly visible to the right just before the final turn toward Diagoras Airport.
Choose the right side if you are on an evening flight to catch a spectacular Mediterranean sunset over the water. This side also provides better views of the Turkish coastline and the island of Symi during the final banking maneuvers before landing.
