Aegean Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the Greek islands of Chios and Lesbos shortly after climbing out of Izmir.
Budapest & The Danube
A prime view of the Hungarian capital and the massive river dividing the city into Buda and Pest.
Prague Spired Skyline
As the flight crosses Central Europe, the dense historic center of Prague is often visible to the west.
German Baltic Coast
Sweeping views of the northern German coastline and the unique geography of the Danish archipelago.
Oresund Bridge
The world-famous bridge and tunnel system connecting Denmark and Sweden, visible during the final approach.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for morning flights to avoid harsh sunlight. Watch the ground carefully about 15-20 minutes before landing to spot the architectural transition of the Oresund Bridge into the underwater tunnel. Seasonal note: In summer, late evening flights offer a stunning 'golden hour' over the Baltic Sea.

Dardanelles Strait

Malmö Skyline
Excellent views of the Swedish city of Malmö and the 'Turning Torso' skyscraper as the plane banks for arrival.

During winter, this side offers dramatic vistas of the frozen landscapes of Central and Eastern Europe.
