Mumbai Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the dense Mumbai metropolis immediately after takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic, snow-capped limestone peaks and deep valleys as the flight traverses Southern Turkey.
Mediterranean Coast
Clear turquoise waters and jagged coastlines visible while cruising along the southern edge of Turkey.
The Alps

Most flights from Mumbai to Amsterdam depart in the early morning. On the left side, the sun will be behind you or directly above for most of the flight, providing excellent illumination for the mountains of Turkey and Europe. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Taurus Mountains isn't obstructed.

Zagros Mountains
The unique, folded rock formations and desert colors of Western Iran offer a starkly beautiful landscape.

Dutch Polders

The right side is ideal for photographers looking for soft, indirect light during the day, avoiding the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side offers a better perspective of the vast Central Asian and Eastern European plains. Look out for the distinct grid patterns of the Netherlands during the final 20 minutes of flight.
