STR โ AYT
Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular journey crossing the heart of the Alps, followed by a stunning parallel flight along the turquoise Adriatic coast and the scattered islands of the Aegean Sea.
Lake Constance
An expansive aerial view of the 'Bodensee' shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Swiss & Italian Alps
Panoramic views of the highest Alpine peaks and the unique jagged silhouettes of the Dolomites.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of thousands of Croatian islands set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Aegean Sea
An endless blue horizon dotted with Greek islands like Rhodes or Kos during the southern leg of the journey.
Turkish Riviera
Breathtaking views of the turquoise coastline, white sand beaches, and Antalya's cliffs upon final approach.
The right side is superior for coastal and island scenery. Aim for a mid-day flight to see the most vibrant turquoise water colors. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. The approach into AYT often circles over the Mediterranean, providing a perfect view of the Konyaaltฤฑ beach district.
Swabian Jura
View the rugged limestone plateau and steep escarpments of Southern Germany shortly after takeoff.
Austrian Alps
Majestic views of the Hohe Tauern range and peaks like the Grossglockner depending on the specific air corridor.
Balkan Interior
Deep green forests and rolling ridges of Serbia and Bulgaria stretching toward the horizon.
Western Taurus Mountains
Dramatic karst mountain formations and deep valleys as you begin your descent into Turkey.
Best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the snow-capped Austrian peaks roughly 25-35 minutes into the flight. During the final descent, you will have a clear view of the inland Turkish countryside and the rural outskirts of Antalya.
