SZG β AYT
Which side of the plane to sit from Salzburg Airport (Salzburg) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, showcasing the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, the dramatic coastline of the Adriatic Sea, and the stunning transition from the Aegean to the Turkish Riviera.
Grossglockner
Views of Austria's highest peak and the Pasterze Glacier within the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Dalmatian Coast
The sparkling blue waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian and Montenegrin Adriatic shoreline.
Durmitor National Park
The rugged, deep canyons and jagged limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps in Montenegro.
Greek Aegean Islands
Views of the scattered islands of the Northern Aegean and the coast of Rhodes depending on the specific flight corridor.
Gulf of Antalya
A sweeping view of the Mediterranean coastline and the vertical cliffs dropping into the sea near the city.
Antalya City Center
Aerial perspective of the historic KaleiΓ§i district and the modern urban sprawl just before touchdown.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal enthusiasts. For late afternoon flights, you'll witness a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean as you descend. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Hohe Tauern glaciers during the first 20 minutes of the flight. Polarized sunglasses are recommended to cut through the glare of the Adriatic Sea.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Immediate views of the turquoise Fuschlsee and Wolfgangsee regions shortly after takeoff from Salzburg.
Dachstein Massif
A close-up view of the limestone plateau and glacier-capped peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps.
Belgrade and Danube
Distant views of the Serbian capital and the winding path of Europe's second-longest river.
Central Taurus Range
Dramatic limestone ridges as the plane begins its descent into the Antalya region.
Lara Beach
The expansive golden sands and luxury resorts east of Antalya city during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for seeing the interior of the Balkan Peninsula and the high plateau of the Taurus mountains during the landing phase. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Austrian Alps provide a stunning white landscape shortly after departure.
