Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Antalya. The left side delivers the more dramatic scenery overall. While the right side wins at Heathrow departure with London views, the left side captures the Alps during the cruise over central Europe, the Aegean coastline as you approach Turkey, and the spectacular Taurus Mountain backdrop on landing at Antalya. The mountain and coastal scenery on the left outweighs the urban departure views.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Heathrow typically departs eastbound on runways 09L/09R, so a right-side seat faces south over central London. You get a clear view of the Thames snaking through the city, with the distinctive bends at Battersea and Greenwich visible as the aircraft climbs. The city grid and major parks are easily identifiable at this altitude. Notable sights include: River Thames bends through central London, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, Wembley Stadium arch, Canary Wharf tower cluster.

When landing at Antalya (AYT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Antalya typically lands from the west on runway 36R/18L or approaches from the sea heading north, meaning a left-side seat faces west toward the Taurus Mountains. The Bey Mountains rise dramatically directly inland, with snow-capped peaks visible above the coastal plain. The turquoise Mediterranean coastline and the city of Antalya with its old harbour are also on this side during the approach. Notable sights include: Taurus Mountains (Bey Dağları) snow-capped peaks, Antalya old city harbour, Mediterranean coastline and Antalya Bay, Düden waterfalls coastal cliffs.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Antalya (AYT) takes Approximately 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes.

The route tracks southeast over France, crossing the Alps near the Mont Blanc massif visible as a high white massif on the horizon. Over northern Italy the Po Valley is a flat patchwork plain. The Adriatic Sea crossing is brief before the aircraft passes over the Greek mainland and islands of the Aegean — Corfu, then the Greek peninsula, then scattered Aegean islands including Rhodes visible to the south. The Turkish coastline appears as a rugged limestone landscape before the descent toward Antalya.
