Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior visual experience, combining the high-altitude majesty of the Swiss Alps with the breathtaking turquoise waters and archipelago of the Croatian coast and the Greek islands.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
❄️

Central Swiss Alps

Unrivaled views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe, often including the Bernese Oberland.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

The stunning contrast between the deep blue sea and the white limestone cliffs of the Dalmatian coast.

🏝️

Croatian Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of hundreds of islands, including Hvar and Brač, scattered in the Adriatic.

🏛️

Aegean Islands

Gliding over the Greek islands with views of coastal towns and sparkling Mediterranean waters.

🏖️

Turkish Riviera

The final approach offers a stunning panorama of the Antalya coastline and the turquoise sea.

The Right Side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Croatian islands. During the descent into Antalya, the aircraft often performs a U-turn over the Gulf of Antalya, providing the right side with a perfect view of the city and its harbor.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Black Forest

Early views of the dense, rolling hills of southwestern Germany shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Tyrolean Alps

Spectacular vistas of the jagged Austrian peaks and high-altitude glacial valleys.

🏘️

Balkan Interior

Rugged, mountainous terrain across Bosnia and Serbia featuring deep river canyons.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

A dramatic northern approach over the massive limestone peaks that guard the Antalya basin.

For morning flights, the left side provides excellent lighting as the sun is positioned to the south and east. Keep a close watch about 40 minutes in for the most dramatic alpine crests. This side is better for seeing the vastness of the Anatolian interior during the final descent.
