Clear views of the Swedish coast and the transition into the open waters of the Baltic Sea.

Sit on the left (Seat A) for the best chance of seeing the sun rise over the Caspian or Persian Gulf on overnight flights. During winter, the mountain ranges in Turkey and Iran are often covered in snow, providing high-contrast photography opportunities. Ensure you are awake 45 minutes before landing for the coastal approach into Doha.
