Rhine Valley
Early views of the industrial and historic heartland of Germany along the Rhine river.
High Alps Panorama
The most dramatic views of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, including glaciers and the highest jagged peaks.
Adriatic Coast
Vibrant turquoise waters and the thousands of islands along the Croatian coastline.
Aegean Islands
As you approach Turkey, look for the scattered Greek islands like Rhodes and Kos sparkling in the blue sea.
Turkish Riviera
A spectacular final approach showing the secluded bays and rugged cliffs of Marmaris and Fethiye.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice for this route. Approximately 60-80 minutes after departure, you will cross the Alps; ensure your window shade is up. For late afternoon flights, the sunset over the Aegean Sea is world-class. If the plane circles before landing, you will get an incredible view of the 'Blue Lagoon' near Ölüdeniz.

Bavarian Landscapes
Aerial views of the rolling green hills and the Danube river winding through southern Germany.
Eastern Alps
Snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Slovenian Alps, offering dramatic relief about an hour into the flight.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged, untamed mountain ranges crossing through Serbia and Bulgaria.
Anatolian Plateau
The high-altitude plains of central Turkey as you begin the descent toward the coast.
Köyceğiz Lake
A stunning view of the large lake and surrounding wetlands just north of Dalaman during the final approach.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Balkan mountain ranges which are often illuminated beautifully in the early afternoon light. This side is also excellent for spotting the inland Turkish lakes during the descent.
