Persian Gulf Coast
Deep blue waters contrasting with the golden sands of the Kuwaiti coastline at departure.
Istanbul & Bosporus
An unmatched aerial view of the strait dividing Europe and Asia and the sprawling metropolis.
Carpathian Mountains
The vast, forested arc of the Carpathians stretching across Romania and Central Europe.
Rhine River
Follow the winding path of Europe's major commercial waterway through Germany and the Netherlands.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind installations visible as white dots in the sea during the descent.
Port of Rotterdam
One of the world's largest ports and industrial complexes visible just before landing.
The right side is the 'cool side' for daytime flights, staying in the shade while providing a front-row seat to Istanbul—usually visible 2.5 to 3 hours after departure. During the final approach into AMS (Schiphol), if the wind is from the north, you may get an incredible circular view of the Dutch coastline and the city of Amsterdam itself.

Euphrates River Valley
Witness the ancient river snaking through the desert landscape of Iraq shortly after takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
Fly over the dramatic, snow-capped peaks of Southern Turkey's most prominent range.
Sofia & Vitosha
Clear views of the Bulgarian capital and the massive Vitosha mountain silhouette.
Frankfurt Skyline

Dutch Polders
The iconic grid-like agricultural patterns and colorful flower fields visible during spring months.
Choose the left side for optimal views of the Mesopotamian plains and German urban centers. However, on daytime flights, this side will experience direct sunlight for the majority of the trip, which may cause glare on your photos. In late spring, look closely during the descent for the vibrant tulip fields near Lisse.
