About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Diagoras (RHO) to Bristol (BRS)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Rhodos to Bristol. While takeoff offers excellent Aegean and Turkish views on the left, the landing approach on the right provides more sustained and dramatic geography—the Severn Estuary, Welsh hills, and English countryside are visually distinctive and occupy most of the descent. The outbound leg over open sea is less visually rewarding than the approach.

Notable sights include: Attavyros mountain (1,215m, visible as the highest peak on Rhodes), the northern Aegean coastline with Lindos acropolis area to the southeast, Turkish mainland mountains across the strait to the north.

The flight crosses the central Mediterranean (Ionian Sea), then the Italian peninsula (visible as a long landmass if flying over central Italy), the Alps on the France-Italy border, the Rhône Valley, the Massif Central plateau in south-central France, and finally the English Channel before reaching Bristol.
