Taurus Mountains
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks in southern Turkey, often snow-capped during winter and spring.
The Bosphorus Strait
The geographical boundary between Asia and Europe, featuring the sprawling metropolis of Istanbul.
Carpathian Mountains
Dense forests and winding valleys as the flight passes over the heart of Romania.
Warsaw Cityscape
Aerial view of the Vistula River and the reconstructed historic center of the Polish capital.
Baltic Coastline
The transition from the Polish mainland to the sea, featuring long sandy spits and coastal lagoons.
For the best mountain views, look out within the first 60 minutes of the flight. If the flight is during the day, the sun will be behind you on the left side during the northerly journey, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Turkish highlands and the Bosphorus. Request a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.

Lake Mälaren

The right side is ideal for views of the Swedish coastline and islands. As the plane approaches Stockholm, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the archipelago if the winds dictate a southerly landing. For evening flights, you may catch the reflection of the sunset on the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. Keep your camera ready during the last 20 minutes of the flight.
