Turquoise Coast
Immediate views of the azure waters and secluded bays near Fethiye and Göcek shortly after takeoff.
Rhodes & Dodecanese
Spectacular aerial views of the Greek islands as the plane turns northwest across the Aegean Sea.
The Alps
A long duration of flight over the jagged, snow-covered peaks of the Austrian or Swiss Alps.
Rhineland
Crossing the historic regions of western Germany, including the winding valleys of the Moselle.
Rotterdam Cityscape
Bird's eye views of the modern architecture and the iconic Erasmus Bridge during the final descent.
Select a window seat on the left for morning departures to enjoy the soft lighting over the Aegean Sea without glare. This side is superior for spotting the distinctive modern skyline of Rotterdam if the wind dictates a northern approach to Runway 24. It also offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic Alpine ridges during the mid-flight cruise.

Aegean Horizon
A vast expanse of sea where East meets West, perfect for catching high-altitude light shifts.
Danube River
Spotting the 'Blue Danube' as the flight path crosses through the Balkans and Central Europe.
Bavarian Foothills
Potential views of the rolling green hills and large lakes of southern Germany.
Port of Rotterdam
The immense industrial scale of the Maasvlakte and Europort shipping terminals during the arrival.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights, as it captures the golden hour over the Rhine and Danube rivers. It offers the most impressive views of the world-famous Rotterdam shipping terminals and offshore wind farms if the flight performs a sea-loop for landing. During the first 20 minutes, look for the rugged peaks of inland Turkey.
