Nile Delta
Witness the sharp line where the fertile green banks of the Nile meet the arid Egyptian desert shortly after takeoff.
Crete and Aegean Sea
Aerial views of the largest Greek island and the scattered turquoise archipelagos of the Mediterranean.
Pindus Mountains
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of mainland Greece and the Balkan Peninsula.
Prague Cityscape
As the flight nears Germany, the Vltava River and the historic spires of the Czech capital are often visible.
Ore Mountains
Dense forests and rolling hills marking the natural border between the Czech Republic and Saxony.
Book a window seat on the left for better lighting during northbound afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is particularly spectacular during the first 45 minutes of the flight to catch the Egyptian coastline and the Delta. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes before landing for views of the Elbe river valley.

Sinai Peninsula
Rugged desert mountains and the distant blue waters of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Turkish Riviera
The jagged coastline of southwestern Turkey where the Taurus Mountains meet the sea.
Budapest & Danube
The winding Danube river as it flows through the heart of the Hungarian capital.
Carpathian Mountains
Dramatic mountain ridges extending across Romania and Slovakia.
Saxon Switzerland
Unique Elbe Sandstone formations and Bastei area just south of the Leipzig approach.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise if you are on an early morning flight from Hurghada. It offers the best views of the Balkan interior and the Danube. Note that during midday flights, glare can be stronger on this side. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the rocky Balkans to the flat plains of Northern Europe.
