Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the massive Lake Balaton in Hungary and a superior perspective of the Mediterranean coastline and the western Taurus Mountains during the final approach into Antalya.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, appearing as a long, vibrant blue stretch early in the journey.
Belgrade
The Serbian capital situated at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is often visible from high altitude.
Aegean Coast
Distant glimpses of the indented Turkish coastline and the Greek islands as the flight tracks south.
Beydağları Mountains
The western branch of the Taurus range that plunges directly into the turquoise Mediterranean waters.
Antalya Bay
Sweeping views of the deep blue Gulf of Antalya and the historic Kaleiçi old town harbor during the final turn.
Choose the right side for spectacular views of the sunset over the Mediterranean on late afternoon flights. About 15-20 minutes into the flight, look down for the distinct shape of Lake Balaton. On the final descent, this side provides the most dramatic views of the limestone cliffs and the western coastline near Kemer.
Vienna Cityscape
Clear views of the Danube River and the industrial outskirts of the Austrian capital shortly after takeoff.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged, snow-capped peaks across Serbia and Bulgaria during the mid-flight cruise.
Lake Eğirdir
A stunning, large turquoise lake in the Turkish Lake District, visible as you cross into southwestern Turkey.
East Taurus Peaks
The sharp, dramatic ridges of the Toros range providing a massive geological barrier before the descent.
Lara Beach Strip
A bird's-eye view of the 'themed' luxury resorts and long sandy beaches east of Antalya airport during landing.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the final approach, keep an eye out for the Düden Waterfalls which occasionally become visible depending on the specific landing pattern from the east. It is also the best side for viewing the Isparta region lakes.
