Aegean Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and the Greek islands of Chios and Lesbos immediately after takeoff from Izmir.
Swiss Alps
A front-row seat to the snow-capped high-altitude glaciers and jagged peaks as you traverse the heart of the European mountain range.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped blue expanse of Lac Léman visible along the French-Swiss border on clear days.
Burgundy Vineyards
A colorful patchwork of world-famous wine estates and rolling green hills as the flight enters Central France.
Paris Basin
The final descent offers views of the sprawling urban forest and historic suburbs of the Île-de-France region.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. On late afternoon flights, you'll be treated to a spectacular sunset over the French countryside. This side is also best for spotting high-altitude glaciers, but be aware of the southern sun which can cause glare during midday flights.

The right side is ideal for geography enthusiasts who want to track the path of the Danube. It remains cooler and less prone to direct sun glare during morning and midday flights. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the Gallipoli peninsula and the crossing into European airspace.
