Prague Cityscape
A possible aerial view of the Vltava River and the historic Bohemian capital shortly after takeoff.
Rila Mountains
The highest mountain range of the Balkan Peninsula, featuring alpine scenery.

The lowest point on earth, featuring distinct turquoise water and white salt formations on the Jordanian border.
An Nafud Desert
Vast expanses of dramatic red sand dunes as you enter northern Saudi Arabian airspace.
Riyadh Skyline
The sprawling urban landscape and major landmarks like the Kingdom Centre upon arrival.
The right side is superior for viewing the Dead Sea rift valley, which is a major geographic highlight. For afternoon flights, you may witness a desert sunset over the An Nafud dunes. Seat yourself behind the wing to ensure the clearest view of the ground below.
High Tatra Mountains
Sharp granite peaks on the border between Poland and Slovakia visible shortly after departure.
Carpathian Arc
Dense forests and rugged ridges stretching across central Romania.
Black Sea Glimpse
Coastal views as the flight path crosses the western edge of the Black Sea near Bulgaria.
