Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks rising sharply from the Mediterranean coast just north of Antalya.
Carpathian Mountains
The rugged curves of the Romanian and Polish Carpathians visible during the mid-flight segment.
Warsaw Cityscape
On clear days, the modern skyscrapers and the Vistula River of the Polish capital are visible.
Baltic Sea Coast
Stunning views of the sandy beaches of the Polish and Lithuanian coastlines.
Helsinki Archipelago
Thousands of granite islands scattered across the blue waters of the Gulf of Finland during approach.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to capture the sunset over the Baltic Sea. Avoid sitting over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the intricate Finnish coastline during the final 15 minutes of the flight. During winter, this side offers the best chance to see the low-hanging sun reflecting off frozen lakes in Poland and the Baltics.

Turkish Riviera
Golden beaches and turquoise waters receding as the plane climbs out of Antalya.
Black Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the dark blue Black Sea as the flight crosses the Turkish northern coast.
Masurian Lake District
A vast network of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland, visible from high altitude.
Tallinn Skyline
The medieval spires of the Estonian capital are often visible just before crossing the Gulf of Finland.
Gulf of Finland Shipping
Large ferries and cargo ships traversing the busy maritime corridor between Tallinn and Helsinki.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Black Sea. This side provides an excellent vantage point for spotting the Estonian coast and the city of Tallinn as you prepare for landing. In autumn, keep an eye out for the vibrant 'Ruska' colors if the flight path takes you over the forested regions of the Baltic states.
