The Himalayas
Enjoy breathtaking views of the world's highest peaks, including the distant snow-capped summits of the Tibetan Plateau.
Hindu Kush Mountains
Observe the dramatic and jagged terrain of the mountain ranges crossing through Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The Caspian Sea
Cross the world's largest inland body of water, noticing the unique oil rigs and coastline of Azerbaijan.
Caucasus Range
Look for Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, as you fly over the rugged border between Asia and Europe.
The Carpathians
The flight path typically crosses over the forested arcs of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania and Ukraine.
Central European Heartland
View the orderly patchwork of German and Austrian farmland and forests as you near the final destination.
The right side is the superior choice for photography because the sun remains on the opposite side of the plane, providing soft, indirect lighting. For the best Himalayan views, ensure you are awake approximately 2 to 3 hours after leaving Bangkok. Use a polarized filter if possible to cut through the high-altitude haze over the Caspian Sea.

The Black Sea

Parisian Outskirts
On the final approach into CDG, the left side often captures the dense urban sprawl and landmarks of the Ile-de-France region.
Since this is a westbound flight, the sun will be positioned to the south of the aircraft for most of the duration. This means the left side will experience direct sunlight and potential glare. Keep the window shade partially closed during the peak afternoon to manage heat, but open it during the descent into France for the best city views.
