Taurus Mountains
The rugged, limestone peaks of southern Turkey rising sharply from the Mediterranean coast.
Istanbul Hinterland
Distant views of the sprawling Marmara region and the western outskirts of Istanbul.
Balkan Mountains
The central mountain chain of Bulgaria, visible as you cross into Eastern Europe.
High Tatra Mountains
Dramatic alpine scenery marking the border between Slovakia and Poland, often snow-capped.
Warsaw City Center
Excellent views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyline during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Tatra Mountains roughly 30-40 minutes before landing. On afternoon flights, this side will experience the sunset, providing beautiful lighting over the Carpathian range. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur when photographing the Turkish coastline.

Cypriot Northern Coast
The clear turquoise waters and rugged coastline of Northern Cyprus shortly after takeoff.
Black Sea Coastline
The scenic transition where the Turkish hills meet the western edge of the Black Sea.
Danube River
The massive, winding blue ribbon of the Danube as it flows through the Romanian plains.
Bucharest
Potential views of the massive Palace of the Parliament if the flight path tracks over Romania.
Vistula River
The primary river of Poland, which guides the aircraft's path into Warsaw Chopin Airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers great views of the Danube River's expansive basin. During winter months, this side provides the best views of the frozen landscapes across the Polish lowlands. Watch for the sharp contrast between the Anatolian plateau and the Black Sea.
