Aegean Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the Dodecanese islands including Rhodes and Kos against turquoise waters.
The Alps
Panoramic views of the Austrian and Swiss Alps, featuring jagged snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys.
Lake Constance
The massive tri-border lake (Bodensee) where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Upper Middle Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River featuring historic hilltop castles and terraced vineyards near Frankfurt.
Frankfurt Skyline
A distant look at Germany's most prominent skyscraper district as the flight heads north.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for seeing the dramatic contrast between the Mediterranean sea and the high-altitude Alpine terrain. During winter, the snow coverage on the Alps is particularly striking from this angle.

Turkish Coastline
Detailed views of the rugged MuΔla and Izmir coastlines during the initial climb.
Istanbul & Marmara Sea
On clear days, the distant sprawl of Istanbul and the bridges connecting Europe and Asia may be visible.
Danube River
Aerial views of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through the Balkan and Pannonian plains.
Prague Cityscape
The iconic red roofs and spires of the Czech capital are often visible during the descent into Northern Germany.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the Brocken peak and dense forests.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning departures from Dalaman. Keep an eye out for the Marmara Sea early in the flight; if the pilot takes a slightly eastern corridor, the view of the Danube winding through central Europe is a highlight.
