Dodecanese Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the Greek islands of Halki, Tilos, and the Datça Peninsula shortly after departing Rhodes.
Istanbul & Bosporus
A world-class aerial view of the strait dividing Europe and Asia, featuring the bridges and the historic Sultanahmet district.
Western Black Sea
An expansive view of the deep blue waters and maritime traffic moving toward the Mediterranean.
Central Russian Plains
The geometric patterns of large-scale agriculture and the winding rivers of the Tula region as you approach Moscow.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On evening flights, this side provides a spectacular sunset view over the Aegean. During the approach to SVO, keep your camera ready for the Moscow City business district skyline, which often appears on the left during southern arrivals.

Taurus Mountains
The rugged, often snow-dusted peaks of the Western Taurus range in Turkey provide a dramatic contrast to the sea.
Turkish Northern Coast
Scenic views of the lush, green Pontic mountain slopes meeting the Black Sea near Zonguldak.
Don River Basin
Views of the meandering Don River and the vast steppe landscapes of Southern Russia.
Moscow Forest Belt
The dense, dark green evergreen forests that surround the Sheremetyevo area, especially beautiful during the autumn golden hour.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the Turkish interior and the transition into the Russian steppes. Watch for the Sea of Azov in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly further east.
