The left side offers the most iconic views of Istanbul's historic peninsula, the Bosphorus Strait, and the Anatolian mountain ranges during the descent.
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Palandöken mountain range immediately after takeoff and a higher probability of seeing the Ankara city skyline during the final descent into Esenboğa.
The left side offers a more dramatic view of the jagged Munzur mountain ranges and a spectacular descent over the Gulf of Izmit and the Marmara coastline.
