Grossglockner Panorama
A spectacular view of Austria's highest peak and the surrounding glaciers of the High Tauern National Park.
Dalmatian Archipelago
An incredible bird's-eye view of Croatia's thousands of islands and the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik
The historic 'Pearl of the Adriatic' with its distinctive red-roofed Old Town and ancient city walls.
Aegean Coast
Visuals of the jagged Turkish coastline where the mountains meet the emerald waters near Dalaman and Fethiye.
Antalya Bay
A sweeping view of the entire Gulf of Antalya and the city's coastal cliffs during the final approach.
The right side is the undisputed winner for scenic variety. For the best experience, fly during the late afternoon; the low sun illuminates the Dalmatian islands and the Taurus Mountains beautifully. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully capture the dramatic descent over the Mediterranean coastline.

Frankfurt Skyline
Excellent views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the winding Main river during the initial climb.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking vistas of the Eastern Alps, featuring the rugged limestone massifs of the Salzkammergut region.
Pannonian Basin
The expansive, fertile plains of Hungary and Serbia stretching toward the horizon.
Northern Taurus Range
The stark, snow-capped ridges of the inland Taurus Mountains as the plane begins its descent into Turkey.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly interesting for those who enjoy the transition from the dense urban landscapes of Central Europe to the rugged, arid plateaus of the Anatolian interior. Watch for the Danube River as you cross into the Balkans.
