SXF → AYT
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual journey, featuring the majestic Eastern Alps, the glittering Adriatic coastline of the Balkans, and a stunning aerial traversal of the Aegean Islands before descending into the Turkish Riviera.
Eastern Alps
Spectacular views of the Austrian Alps, including the Dachstein Massif, depending on the specific airway used.
Adriatic Coastline
The white stone and turquoise waters of the Dalmatian coast, including the islands of Croatia.
Aegean Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea during the mid-flight phase.
Rhodes Island
Often visible as a large landmass to the west just before the flight turns toward the Turkish mainland.
Antalya Bay
Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the famous cliffs of Antalya during the final approach.
This side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For afternoon flights, you will witness a beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean. During the final approach to AYT, ensure your window is clear to capture the contrast between the turquoise sea and the urban sprawl of the Turkish Riviera.
Berlin & Brandenburg
Immediate views of the Spree river and the lush forests of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park shortly after takeoff.
Prague Cityscape
Clear views of the Vltava river and the historic rooftops of the Czech capital if the flight path stays east of the city.
The Danube Bend
The dramatic curve of the Danube river as it flows through Hungary and northern Serbia.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged, rolling peaks of the Stara Planina range stretching across the horizon of Bulgaria.
Western Taurus Peaks
Dramatic snow-capped limestone peaks during the final descent into Antalya.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the inland Anatolian plateau and the sheer scale of the Taurus Mountains as you approach the Turkish coast. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best mountain photography.
