Mediterranean Coast
A beautiful view of the turquoise coastline as the flight departs the Levant region.
Tel Aviv Skyline
A panoramic view of the coastal urban sprawl and the Mediterranean beaches.
Taurus Mountains
Jagged, snow-capped peaks that dominate the horizon as you cross into southern Turkey.
Lake Eğirdir
A massive, vibrant blue lake tucked between the rugged mountains of the Turkish interior.
Danube River
The wide, shimmering border between Bulgaria and Romania visible shortly before descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and maximize visibility. Look out for the Turkish coastline about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain views. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best view of the Danube crossing.

Jordan Rift Valley
The stark, geological contrast of the valley and the northern tip of the Dead Sea region.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, high-altitude plains of central Turkey with unique geological formations.
Istanbul Outskirts
The eastern edges of the massive metropolis and the mouth of the Bosphorus in the distance.
Black Sea Coast
The deep blue waters of the Black Sea meeting the green northern coast of Turkey.
Wallachian Plain
The organized agricultural patchwork of southern Romania leading toward Bucharest.
The right side is excellent for afternoon or evening flights, offering spectacular golden hour lighting over the Anatolian Plateau. Keep an eye out for the Black Sea coastline if the flight path takes a slightly more easterly route toward the Balkans. Seasonal snow on the Anatolian peaks adds significant visual interest in winter.
