Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped dormant compound volcano near the Turkish-Iranian border.
Black Sea Coast

Bosphorus Strait
The historic waterway in Istanbul that separates the European and Asian continents.
Carpathian Mountains
Dense green forests and winding valleys across Romania and Slovakia.

The right side is essential for spotting Mount Ararat shortly after takeoff. For morning flights, this side offers the best lighting for photography without shooting into the sun. Keep your camera ready as you approach Istanbul; the pilot often flies directly over the Bosphorus, providing a world-class view of the city's bridges.

Sofia
Aerial views of the Bulgarian capital nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains.
Lake Balaton

Opt for the left side if flying during the afternoon to avoid the direct northern sun glare. This side provides excellent views of the southern European landscape and the rolling hills of Hungary. Use a window seat behind the wing to see the high-altitude terrain of Anatolia clearly.
