Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Pendik, Istanbul to Plaisance. Right-side seats capture the more dramatic scenery at both ends of the journey—the Sea of Marmara and Istanbul's coastal geography during departure, and during the long overwater cruise across the Indian Ocean, right-side seats face south toward the African continent and Madagascar, offering occasional views of weather systems and ocean features. Left-side seats excel only during the final approach to Mauritius.

During takeoff from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Sea of Marmara and the Asian coastline of Istanbul during the initial climb-out. The aircraft departs eastward from Sabiha Gökçen, positioning right-side passengers to see the water body and coastal geography immediately after takeoff. Notable sights include: Sea of Marmara, Asian Istanbul coastline (Pendik district and surrounding waterfront), Bosphorus strait entrance to the south, Prince Islands archipelago.

When landing at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of Mauritius's western and southwestern coastline during the descent approach to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam. The aircraft approaches from the northeast, making left-side seats optimal for viewing the island's terrain, lagoons, and coastal features. Notable sights include: Southwestern Mauritius coastline, Black River Gorges National Park (interior highlands visible), Lagoons and reef systems along the west coast, Port Louis and northern coastal plains in distance.

The flight from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU) takes Approximately 11-12 hours.

The flight path crosses the Mediterranean Sea (if routed westward initially), then over North Africa (Egypt, Sudan, or Ethiopia depending on routing), the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and finally the Indian Ocean. Notable features include the Nile River Delta visible during the African crossing, the Red Sea's narrow geography, and the vast open Indian Ocean for the majority of the journey. The flight typically cruises at 35,000-43,000 feet where individual landmarks become small, but weather systems, cloud formations, and the curvature of the Earth become prominent visual features.
