Turkish Riviera
Stunning aerial views of the Antalya coastline and the turquoise Mediterranean waters shortly after takeoff.
Balkan Highlands
Rugged mountainous terrain across Bulgaria and Serbia, offering deep valleys and sharp ridges.
The Alps
Panoramic views of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps visible to the south during the cruise phase.
Main River Valley
The winding curves of the Main River as the aircraft enters German airspace near Frankfurt.
For afternoon flights, the left side is ideal as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft, reducing glare when photographing the Alps. Keep an eye out about 2 hours into the flight for the best mountain vistas.
