Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular view of Mount Olympus shortly after takeoff and a more direct angle onto the rugged western ridges of the Alps and the Harz mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Mount Olympus

Rising 2,917 meters, the mythical home of the Greek gods is visible to the southwest shortly after departing Thessaloniki.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Austrian Alps

Stunning views of the snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses from the Balkans into Central Europe.

πŸ™οΈ

Lake Starnberg

A large, picturesque lake just south of Munich, often visible during the transition into German airspace.

🌲

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring Brocken peak and dense forests before the descent into the North German Plain.

🌊

Weser River

The winding river that defines the landscape of Lower Saxony and leads directly into the city of Bremen.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare and capture the best lighting on Mount Olympus. During the winter months, the snow coverage on the Alps is exceptionally vivid on this side. Look out for the 'Brocken' peak as you enter Northern Germany.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏒

Thessaloniki Cityscape

A bird's-eye view of the White Tower, the Aristotelous Square, and the dense urban grid of Greece's second-largest city.

πŸ’§

Danube River

The massive waterway snaking through the Pannonian Basin, often visible near the border of Serbia and Hungary.

🏰

Salzburg & Surroundings

The historic city and the dramatic 'Eagles Nest' region of the Berchtesgaden Alps are often visible to the east.

πŸŒ†

Nuremberg

The red-roofed historic center of this Bavarian city is a common landmark during the mid-portion of the flight.

✈️

Bremen Approach

Excellent views of the Mercedes-Benz factory and the Weserstadion if landing from the east.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset reflections off the Danube and German lakes. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for a potential view of Bremen’s city center and football stadium depending on the wind direction.
