Moscow City View
On clear southern departures, the distant cluster of skyscrapers in Moscow's financial district can be seen.
Anatolian Plateau
The rugged, arid landscapes and unique geological formations of central Turkey.
Turkish Riviera
Spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline near Antalya and Alanya with clear turquoise water.
Troodos Mountains
The pine-forested central massif of Cyprus becomes visible as the aircraft begins its descent into Larnaca.
Larnaca Bay
A sweeping view of the Mediterranean coastline and the city's marina as the plane turns for final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare for photography. Request a seat forward of the wing to have an unobstructed view of the Turkish coastline and the Cypriot mountain ranges.

Moscow Suburbs
Aerial views of the massive residential blocks and green belts surrounding the capital during the initial climb.
Eastern Black Sea
The transition from the Russian mainland to the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea.
Taurus Mountains
Jagged, snow-capped peaks in southern Turkey that provide a dramatic contrast to the Mediterranean coastline.
Larnaca Salt Lake

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Black Sea, but be prepared for glare. This side is excellent for spotting the salt flats near the airport, which are often inhabited by flamingos seasonally.
