Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Nevşehir to Pendik, Istanbul. Right-side seats win overall because the dramatic Cappadocia volcanic landscape during takeoff is more visually distinctive and memorable than the urban/coastal approach to Istanbul. The fairy chimneys and Mount Erciyes are unique geological features; the landing approach is primarily urban and water views common to many routes.

During takeoff from Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Cappadocia fairy chimneys and volcanic formations of the Göreme Valley immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs northwestward, and right-side windows frame the distinctive tufa rock landscape that defines this UNESCO World Heritage site. Notable sights include: Göreme Valley fairy chimneys, Erciyes Dağı (Mount Erciyes, 3,916m volcanic peak to the east), Nevşehir town grid below, Kızılırmak River valley.

When landing at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Marmara Sea coastline and the approach into Istanbul's eastern side. As the aircraft descends toward Sabiha Gökçen, left windows frame the Sea of Marmara's northern shore and the urban sprawl of Pendik and Kartal districts. Notable sights include: Sea of Marmara (northern coastline), Pendik and Kartal urban districts, Bosphorus strait entrance (northern horizon), Prince Islands archipelago (if visible through haze).

The flight from Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Anatolian plateau northwestward. Notable features include the Tuz Gölü (Salt Lake) visible to the left/north around midpoint as a large shallow body of water with white salt deposits; the transition from volcanic Cappadocia terrain to the flatter, drier central plateau; and the gradual descent toward the Marmara region as the aircraft approaches Istanbul. The Sakarya River valley becomes visible on the left side during descent toward the coast.
