Search flights from AYT to SXF
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Western Taurus range immediately after departing Antalya.
Rila & Pirin Mountains
The highest mountain massifs of the Balkan Peninsula in Bulgaria, often snow-capped well into spring.
Prague Cityscape
On the standard approach path, the historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River are visible to the west.
Bohemian Forest
Dense evergreen forests spanning the border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
Book a seat in the front or rear of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Balkan peaks. For morning flights, this side receives direct sunlight, which can be harsh for photography but provides excellent illumination of the ground below. Watch for the change in landscape from Mediterranean scrub to lush European forests about 90 minutes into the flight.

Gulf of Antalya
A stunning aerial view of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline and the port of Antalya during initial climb.
Lake Balaton
Known as the 'Hungarian Sea,' this long, narrow freshwater lake is clearly visible while overflying Hungary.
Saxon Switzerland
Unique sandstone formations and the winding Elbe River valley near the German-Czech border.
Dresden
The 'Florence on the Elbe' with its restored Baroque architecture is often visible shortly before the descent into Berlin.
This side is preferable for afternoon or evening flights to avoid glare and enjoy the sunset over the European continent. Keep your camera ready about 2 hours into the flight for the distinctive turquoise hue of Lake Balaton. During the final approach into the Berlin area, this side often provides a better view of the expansive forest regions of Brandenburg.
