London Skyline
Excellent views of the Thames and the City of London shortly after departure if the aircraft turns East.
The Central Alps
Spectacular vistas of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian mountain ranges midway through the flight.
Balkan Interior
Rugged landscapes and deep river valleys across Serbia and Bulgaria.
Aegean Sea
Deep blue waters and distant views of the Greek islands as you transition to the Mediterranean.
Larnaca Salt Lake
A clear view of the iconic salt lake and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque just before touchdown.
Opt for a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun is on the right side of the aircraft, making the left side ideal for photography without glare. Keep your camera ready 20 minutes before landing for the Cyprus coastline.

Greater Paris
Views of the French capital's outskirts and the sprawling northern French countryside.
Adriatic Coast
Beautiful glimpses of the Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Dalmatian coast.
Peloponnese Peninsula
The rugged southern tip of Greece is often visible on the horizon.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive, uninterrupted views of the sea as the aircraft crosses toward the Levant.
Troodos Mountains
View the central mountain massif of Cyprus during the descent into Larnaca.
The right side is the 'sunny side' for most of this south-easterly route, which is great for warmth but can cause significant glare during midday. It offers the best views of the Mediterranean horizon during sunset. If the flight approaches LCA from the west, you will see the Troodos mountains clearly.
