Ankara Cityscape
A panoramic view of the Turkish capital's urban sprawl and the Anitkabir monument shortly after takeoff.
Sea of Marmara
Glittering views of the inland sea that separates the Anatolian and Thracian regions of Turkey.
The Alps
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian Alps to the south during mid-flight.
Bavarian Countryside
Neat patches of forests and traditional German villages as the flight crosses into Central Europe.
Choose the left side for optimal lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side is also excellent for spotting the distant silhouette of the Alps on clear days over Austria and Southern Germany.
