Search flights from GVA to AYT
Mont Blanc
Europe's highest peak dominates the horizon shortly after departure to the south of the flight path.
The Matterhorn
The distinct, sharp-edged pyramid shape of the Matterhorn is often visible on the Swiss-Italian border.
Adriatic Coastline
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and white pebble beaches along the Croatian and Albanian coasts.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks (in winter/spring) that guard the entrance to the Antalya region.
Turkish Riviera
Final approach views of the steep cliffs and luxury resorts lining the coast of Antalya.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mont Blanc. During the descent into Antalya, the right side often catches the sun setting over the Mediterranean on evening flights.

Lake Geneva
A full view of the crescent-shaped Lac Léman and the Jet d'Eau immediately after takeoff from GVA.
Bernese Oberland
Glaciated peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau visible across the Swiss plateau.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged terrain of the Rila and Pirin ranges as the flight crosses over Bulgaria.
Sofia Outskirts
The urban sprawl of the Bulgarian capital nestled in the Sofia Valley.
Aegean Sea
Deep blue waters dotted with small Greek and Turkish islands during the transition to the Mediterranean.
Sit on the left if you want the best view of Geneva city and the lake during the initial climb. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
