Which side of the plane to sit from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki) to Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for its diverse scenery, combining the turquoise waters of the Adriatic coast, the iconic jagged limestone of the Dolomites, and the deep green landscapes of the Black Forest during the descent.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Exquisite views of the Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Dolomite Peaks
The dramatic, jagged limestone massifs of the Italian Alps, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days with a westerly path, look for the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands.
Central Alpine Ridges
Glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern, including views towards the Grossglockner.
The Black Forest
A dense canopy of evergreen trees marking the final approach into the Rhine Valley.
Book a window seat in the morning to avoid the direct afternoon sun glare. Watch for the transition from the sea to the high mountains about 45-60 minutes into the flight. In winter, the snow coverage on the Dolomites is particularly striking.
Balkan Interior
Rugged, mountainous terrain spanning North Macedonia and the Dinaric Alps of Bosnia.
Northern Limestone Alps
The steep rock faces and high plateaus of the Austrian Alpine range.
Munich Vicinity
Distant views of the Bavarian capital and the sprawling plains of Southern Germany.
Swabian Jura
Look for historic castles perched on the limestone cliffs of the Swabian Alb plateau.
Danube Valley
Sections of the Danube river winding through the landscape toward the Black Forest.
The right side offers excellent soft lighting during afternoon flights. It is ideal for those who prefer continuous mountain vistas over coastal views. Keep a camera ready for the Swabian Jura's dramatic escarpments just before descending into FKB.
