Mediterranean Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Israeli shoreline and the turquoise waters as the plane turns north over the sea.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and rugged limestone ridges of Southern Turkey's majestic mountain range.
Black Sea Coast
The western shoreline where the deep blue of the Black Sea meets the Balkan Peninsula's greenery.
Carpathian Mountains
Aerial perspective of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania, featuring dense forests and jagged summits.
Lithuanian Lake District
The final descent reveals Lithuania's iconic 'Land of Lakes' nestled within vast pine and birch forests.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. On the approach to VNO, the left side often provides a clearer view of the Neris River and the lush green periphery of the city. Ensure you choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to see the Carpathian ridges clearly.

Tel Aviv Skyline
Stunning views of the 'White City' and the densely populated Gush Dan region immediately after takeoff.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, high-altitude arid landscapes and salt lakes of central Turkey's inner heartland.
The Bosphorus
Depending on the specific airway, a distant view of the strait dividing Europe and Asia may be visible.
Danube River
The massive, winding blue ribbon of the Danube as it flows through the Romanian and Bulgarian borderlands.
Vilnius Old Town
If landing from the north (Runway 19), the right side offers views of the historic Gediminas Castle Tower.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides the best view of the Judean Hills and the sprawl of central Israel during the initial climb. During the descent into Vilnius, if the wind is from the south, the right side may offer glimpses of the historic city center and the TV Tower.
