Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Izmir to Antalya. While the left side offers a scenic Izmir departure with harbor and coastal views, the right side delivers superior landing scenery with the dramatic Taurus Mountains and Mediterranean coastline providing significantly more terrain drama and visual variety. The mountain approach to Antalya outweighs the takeoff advantage, making right the stronger choice for the full flight.

During takeoff from Adnan Menderes (ADB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side captures Izmir's harbor and the Aegean coastline during climb-out, with the Gulf of Izmir's distinctive inlet and surrounding hills providing immediate visual interest. Right side faces inland toward flat agricultural plains with minimal terrain variation. Notable sights include: Gulf of Izmir (Alsancak harbor visible), Alsancak district waterfront, Yamanlar Mountain ridge to the northeast, Aegean Sea coastline.

When landing at Antalya (AYT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers the dramatic approach to Antalya's coastal setting, with the Taurus Mountains rising steeply inland and the Mediterranean coastline with its distinctive turquoise bays visible during descent. Left side faces the open Mediterranean with minimal terrain features. Notable sights include: Taurus Mountains (snow-capped peaks visible inland), Mediterranean coastline with turquoise bays, Antalya harbor and city waterfront, Konyaalti Beach.

The flight from Adnan Menderes (ADB) to Antalya (AYT) takes 1h 10m.

Aegean coastline with scattered islands (Chios visible to the west), transition from Izmir's Gulf to open Aegean waters, Lycian coast approaching Antalya with rocky headlands and pine-forested slopes, Taurus Mountain foothills rising inland
