While the takeoff offers excellent Norwegian fjord scenery, the landing approach provides more sustained visual interest with Lake Eğirdir and the Taurus Mountains forming a dramatic natural boundary. Right-side seats capture the most distinctive geography of the destination region.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Balkans, passing east of the Dinaric Alps and over central Greece.
