Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Eastern Alps, the stunning Croatian coastline along the Adriatic, and a spectacular close-up of Mount Olympus during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
❄️

The Eastern Alps

Dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps including the Hohe Tauern range dominate the horizon mid-route.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

The turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea and the thousands of islands lining the Croatian coast are visible to the west.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The stark, karst limestone mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro offer a uniquely rugged landscape.

💧

Lake Ohrid

A glimpse of one of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes on the border between North Macedonia and Albania.

⚡

Mount Olympus

The legendary home of the Greek gods provides a massive, imposing silhouette to the west just before landing at SKG.

Sit on the right side for the most iconic landmarks. To see Mount Olympus clearly, ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed downward view during the descent. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Alps without the afternoon haze.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Oslofjord Coastline

Aerial views of the intricate Norwegian archipelago and the eastern shores of the fjord immediately after departure.

🏰

Prague & Bohemia

The historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the rolling green landscapes of the Czech Republic are often visible mid-flight.

🌄

Carpathian Mountains

Distant but impressive views of the rugged peaks spanning across Romania and Serbia to the east.

🏙️

Thessaloniki Cityscape

A panoramic view of the Greek second city, the White Tower, and the bustling port during the base leg of the approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize direct sun glare while heading south. This side is also excellent for spotting the city lights of Central European capitals if flying late in the evening.
