ZRH → AYT
Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular combination of the high Swiss Alps, the intricate island-dotted coastline of the Adriatic Sea, and a breathtaking final approach along the Turkish Riviera.
Bernese Oberland
Distant views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks appearing to the south shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Coast
A highlight of the flight, featuring the turquoise waters and hundreds of white-pebbled islands of the Croatian archipelago.
Ionian Islands
Views of lush Greek islands like Corfu and Lefkada as the flight path moves toward the Aegean Sea.
Aegean Sea
Sparkling blue waters dotted with small islets and the occasional passing ship as you cross toward the Turkish coast.
Antalya Bay
On the final approach, enjoy panoramic views of the Antalya coastline, luxury resorts, and the turquoise Mediterranean waters.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal views. To see the Adriatic islands clearly, choose a window seat forward of the wing. For afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which may require closing the window shade for parts of the cruise. During the final approach into AYT, the right side usually gets a stunning view of the city and its historic harbor.
Glarus Alps
Shortly after departure from ZRH, view the jagged peaks of the Swiss Glarus massif and the deep blue Walensee.
The Dolomites
As the flight crosses Northern Italy, look for the distinctive pale limestone spires and sheer rock faces of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged, karst mountain landscapes visible while overflying Montenegro and Albania, featuring deep canyons and remote peaks.
Taurus Mountains
During descent, the aircraft passes over the dramatic, snow-dusted ridges of the Western Taurus range before reaching the coast.
Sit on the left if you prefer alpine scenery and mountain topography. In the morning, the sun will be on the right side, making the left side better for photography without glare. Watch for the dramatic transition from the high Anatolian plateau to the Mediterranean basin.
