Which side of the plane to sit from Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (Istanbul) to Kayseri Erkilet Airport (Kayseri)?

Search flights from SAW to ASR
Sapanca Lake
A clear view of this major freshwater lake nestled between the mountains during the initial climb.
Tuz Gölü
The massive, bright white expanse of the Salt Lake is often visible mid-flight to the south.
Mount Erciyes
The snow-capped peak of this massive stratovolcano dominates the window view during the descent into Kayseri.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of Mount Erciyes against the aircraft's silhouette. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the salt flats of Tuz Gölü.

Rugged, forested mountain ranges of the Bolu province stretching toward the horizon.
Kızılırmak River
The winding path of Turkey's longest river as it snakes through the Central Anatolian landscape.
Sit on the left for the best views of Istanbul's expanding Asian suburbs and the lush greenery of the Black Sea hinterlands in the distance. This side is preferable during morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare.
