Turkish Riviera
Immediate views of the Bodrum peninsula and the intricate coastline of southwest Turkey after departure.
Athens & Attica
The massive urban sprawl of the Greek capital and the bustling Saronic Gulf are often visible shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Coast
Stunning views of the Croatian islands, including Hvar and Brač, set against the turquoise Adriatic waters.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, grey limestone peaks stretching through Montenegro, Bosnia, and Croatia.
Munich & Chiemsee
Aerial views of Bavaria's largest lake and the city of Munich as the plane begins its descent into Nuremberg.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Ensure you are looking out within the first 20 minutes to see the Turkish coast. As you reach cruising altitude, watch for the Croatian coastline—the contrast between the white karst mountains and blue sea is breathtaking. For evening flights, the right side enjoys a beautiful 'golden hour' glow over the Balkans.

Cyclades Islands
Bird's eye view of the volcanic island chains in the Aegean Sea, including Naxos and Paros.
Ionian Sea
Deep blue expanses as the flight crosses from Greece toward the Adriatic corridor.
Tyrolean Alps
Glaciated peaks and high-altitude valleys of the Austrian Tyrol region as you cross into Central Europe.
Franconian Heights
The rolling hills and dense forests of northern Bavaria during the final approach phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the middle of the flight for spotting the high Alpine ridges of Austria. If the flight path takes a more southerly route, you might catch a distant glimpse of the Italian coastline across the Adriatic.
