Cape Greco
Stunning views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline and the sea caves near Ayia Napa shortly after takeoff.
Lake Tuz (Tuz Gölü)
One of the world's largest hyper-saline lakes, appearing as a massive, bright white salt pan in Central Anatolia.
Dnieper River Reservoirs
The massive, blue-water reservoirs of the Dnieper River which dominate the central Ukrainian landscape.
Kyiv Skyline
Views of the golden-domed churches and the urban layout of the Ukrainian capital if the flight path tracks centrally.
Berezina River Valley
The winding river basins and historical battlegrounds near the approach into Minsk.
This is the premier side for geography lovers. The highlight is definitely Lake Tuz; ensure your window is clean as the white salt reflects light intensely. During morning flights, expect some glare, but the views of the Dnieper river system are unparalleled from this side. Keep a camera ready 20-30 minutes after crossing the Turkish coast.

A vast expanse of deep blue water viewed from the north-western trajectory.
Ukrainian Steppes
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields known as the breadbasket of Europe.
Polesie Marshes

Choose this side if you prefer evening flights to avoid direct sunlight. It offers better views of the western Anatolian mountain ranges. Look out for the contrast between the dry Turkish landscape and the lush green plains of Ukraine and Belarus.
