Himalayan Vistas
Stunning long-range views of the world's highest peaks to the north while traversing Northern India.
Hindu Kush
Jagged, snow-dusted peaks and deep valleys as the route crosses through Central Asia.
Caspian Sea
The northern horizon showcases the world's largest inland body of water with its unique turquoise hues.
Caucasus Mountains
Spectacular views of Mount Elbrus and the formidable range separating Europe and Asia.
The Alps
A magnificent finale featuring the Austrian and Italian Alps, including the jagged Dolomites.
Lake Como
During the final descent into Malpensa, you can often spot the iconic Y-shaped glacial lake.
This is the premier side for mountain enthusiasts. For the best experience, book a daytime flight to ensure visibility of the Himalayas and the Alps. If on a night flight, the right side is still superior for the morning descent into Italy, where the sunrise illuminates the Alpine peaks and Northern Italian lakes.

Bangkok Skyline
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling Thai capital and the winding Chao Phraya River shortly after takeoff.
Bay of Bengal
Deep blue maritime vistas as the flight crosses from Southeast Asia toward the Indian subcontinent.
Thar Desert
The arid, golden landscapes of Northwest India and Pakistan, providing a stark contrast to the tropical start.
Black Sea Southern Coast
Aerial views of the Turkish coastline and the vast expanse of the southern Black Sea.
Apennine Mountains
As the flight nears Milan, the rugged spine of the Italian peninsula is visible to the south.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunset during late afternoon departures, as the sun will be positioned to the south/southwest. It also provides better views of the Mediterranean coastline if the flight path dips further south due to weather or air traffic control.
