Tel Aviv Skyline
A bird's-eye view of the White City and the Jaffa port immediately after takeoff from Ben Gurion.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Anti-Taurus range in southeastern Turkey.
Lake Van
The striking turquoise waters of Turkey's largest lake, surrounded by volcanic peaks.
Mount Ararat
The legendary 5,137m dormant volcano, often capped in snow year-round, visible near the Turkey-Armenia border.
Lesser Caucasus
Lush, forested ridges and deep river valleys as the plane descends toward Tbilisi.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Ararat, which appears roughly 30 to 45 minutes before landing. For the best lighting on the mountains, choose a morning flight. During winter months, ensure you have a window clear of frost to capture the heavy snow cover on the Eastern Anatolian highlands.

Eastern Mediterranean
Deep blue vistas of the Mediterranean Sea as the flight tracks north along the Levantine coast.
Antalya Coastline
Distant views of the Turkish Riviera and the coastal cliffs of southern Anatolia.
Central Anatolian Plateau
The rugged, high-altitude steppe of central Turkey featuring unique rock formations.
Greater Caucasus
During the final descent, the massive, snow-dusted peaks of the Greater Caucasus are visible to the north.
Sit on the left for better views of the Mediterranean at takeoff and to catch the distant, dramatic silhouettes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains on the horizon as you enter Georgian airspace. This side avoids direct glare during afternoon flights.
