Which side of the plane to sit from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Swiss Alps and the shimmering coastline of the Adriatic Sea as the aircraft tracks northwest.
Thermaic Gulf
Breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and the Thessaloniki shoreline immediately after departure.
Swiss Alps
Panoramic vistas of the high-altitude peaks and glaciers of the central Alpine range during mid-flight.
Ardennes Forest
The deep green rolling hills and winding river valleys of southern Belgium during the descent.
City of Namur
Aerial view of the historic citadel and the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, providing the best lighting for photography of the Alps. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes after takeoff for a potential glimpse of Mount Olympus to the far south.
Thessaloniki Cityscape
A detailed look at the White Tower and the organized grid of the city center during initial climb.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged terrain and remote peaks across North Macedonia and Serbia.
Austrian Alps
Views of the eastern Alpine ridges and turquoise glacial lakes if the flight path tracks slightly north.
Luxembourg Plateau
Visuals of the dense urban centers and deep valleys of the Grand Duchy before entering Belgian airspace.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it remains in the shade, reducing glare on the window. It offers a better perspective of the urban density of Central Europe and the transition from the mountains to the lowlands.
