Notable sights include: Sea of Marmara, Istanbul urban sprawl (Pendik and Kartal districts), Bosphorus strait (distant), Asian Anatolian plateau.

When landing at Stuttgart (STR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats provide excellent views of the Swabian Alps (Schwäbische Alb) and the Neckar River valley as the aircraft descends into Stuttgart from the northeast. These rolling forested hills and the river's meandering path are distinctive landmarks visible during final approach. Notable sights include: Swabian Alps (Schwäbische Alb), Neckar River valley, Stuttgart city center and Wilhelma district, surrounding vineyard-covered slopes.

The flight from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) to Stuttgart (STR) takes 2h 45m.
