Which side of the plane to sit from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the most iconic high-altitude Alpine peaks and the majestic Mount Olympus shortly after takeoff.
Mount Olympus
The highest peak in Greece and mythical home of the gods, often visible south-west of Thessaloniki shortly after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
Unrivaled views of the High Alps, including the massive peaks and glaciers of the Bernese Oberland region.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' creates a striking blue contrast against the surrounding three-country border area.
Black Forest
The dark, dense canopy of southern Germany provides a scenic backdrop during the final descent into the tri-national airport.
The right side is the definitive winner for mountain enthusiasts. On a clear day, the snow-capped summits of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau are visible roughly 20 minutes before landing. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft.
Adriatic Coastline
Breath-taking views of the Croatian islands and the crystal-clear waters of the Balkan coast.
Venetian Lagoon
Depending on the air corridor, you may spot the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands.
Lake District
Look out for the deep blue waters of Lake Garda and Lake Como nestled against the Italian Alps.
Jura Mountains
The final stretch offers views of the verdant, rolling limestone ridges of the Jura range.
Opt for the left side if flying during the late afternoon to capture the golden hour light reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. Avoid sitting over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal archipelagos and the Italian lakes during the middle of the flight.
