Turkish Riviera
Immediate views of the Bodrum peninsula and the intricately carved coastline of western Turkey.
Dinaric Alps
The wild and rugged mountain landscapes stretching across the Balkan Peninsula.
Hohe Tauern
Glaciated peaks of the high Austrian Alps, often including views of the Grossglockner massif.
Frankfurt Skyline
The impressive 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the winding Main River during the descent into Frankfurt.
The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Frankfurt, as aircraft typically circle from the east, providing a panoramic view of the financial district. For the best Alpine views, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze.

Aegean Archipelago
Bird's-eye views of the Dodecanese islands including Kalymnos, Leros, and Patmos shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Coast
The turquoise waters and thousands of limestone islands along the Croatian shoreline.
The Dolomites
Stunning views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian and Austrian border ranges.
Bavarian Heartland
A mosaic of green forests, traditional villages, and rolling hills as you cross Southern Germany.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be positioned on the opposite side. This side is also excellent for spotting the Croatian coastline if the flight path tracks slightly westward over the Adriatic Sea.
