Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular front-row seat to the Balkan coastline, featuring the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea and the intricate archipelago of the Croatian Dalmatian Coast before crossing the snow-capped Alps.

Right Side Highlights

πŸ–οΈ

Zakynthos Shoreline

A stunning farewell view of Zante's limestone cliffs and the famous blue waters of the Ionian Sea during ascent.

🏰

Dubrovnik & Adriatic

Clear views of the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' with its iconic red roofs and medieval walls perched on the coastline.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A mesmerizing mosaic of over a thousand Croatian islands, including Hvar and Brač, scattered in the deep blue sea.

πŸ”οΈ

Eastern Alps

The jagged limestone peaks and hidden turquoise lakes of the Austrian Alps providing a stark contrast to the coastline.

πŸ™οΈ

Amsterdam City View

If landing on the Zwanenburgbaan or Buitenveldertbaan runways, you may see the historic canal ring and Central Station.

This is the premier choice for coastal scenery. Watch closely about 35-50 minutes into the flight for the Croatian coastline. In winter, the contrast between the blue sea and the snow-covered mountains is especially sharp. Use a window seat behind the wing for the best panoramic photography of the archipelago.

🏝️

Kefalonia & Ithaca

Dramatic views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise bays of Zakynthos's neighboring Ionian islands shortly after takeoff.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Alpine Massifs

Breathtaking views of the high peaks and glaciers of the Swiss and Austrian Alps as you cross central Europe.

🏰

Rhine River Valley

The winding loops of the Rhine River as it flows through Germany toward the Dutch border.

🌊

IJsselmeer

The massive reclaimed inland bay of the Netherlands, identifiable by its distinct dikes and polder landscapes.

Sit toward the front of the cabin to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of the Alpine glaciers. On afternoon flights, this side experiences less direct sun glare, making it easier to spot the intricate canal systems of the Netherlands during the final approach.
