Island of Cyprus
Excellent views of the Karpas Peninsula and the Troodos Mountains shortly after takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
The dramatic, snow-capped peaks of southern Turkey as the flight path skirts the Anatolian coast.
Balkan Interior
Rugged mountain terrain across Bulgaria and Serbia, offering a patchwork of deep valleys.
Central Alps
A front-row seat to the most iconic snow-capped peaks of Austria and Southern Germany.
Bavarian Plateau
Neat German landscapes, scattered lakes, and the winding path of the Danube River.
The right side is generally better for photography as it faces away from the direct sun for much of the journey. The transition from the Mediterranean to the Alps is the visual highlight—usually occurring about 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight. Ensure your window is clear for the Alpine crossing near the flight's end.

On morning flights, the left side faces the sun, which can cause significant glare and heat; choose this side for afternoon flights to catch a potential sunset over Western Europe. Keep an eye out for the Greek islands mid-flight.
