Search flights from ABV to FRA
Ahaggar Mountains
Dramatic dark volcanic peaks rising sharply from the Saharan floor.
Tunisian Coastline
The turquoise waters of the Gulf of Gabes meeting the desert sands.
Swiss & Italian Alps
Spectacular close-up views of snow-capped peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Rhine-Main Region
Views of the winding Main River and the Frankfurt skyline on final approach.
This is the premier side for mountain lovers. Ensure you are awake approximately 60-90 minutes before landing to see the Alps in their full glory. Mid-day flights provide the best lighting for the volcanic textures of the Hoggar (Ahaggar) region in southern Algeria. Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion during your photography.

Grand Erg Occidental
Stunning vistas of vast orange sand dune seas across central Algeria.
Tassili n'Ajjer
A lunar-like landscape of eroded sandstone and ancient rock arches.
Mediterranean Horizon
Deep blue expanses as the flight leaves the African continent near Algiers.
Massif Central
The rugged green highlands and dormant volcanoes of south-central France.
Choose this side if you prefer the vast, minimalist beauty of the Western Sahara's sand dunes. On a night flight, you may catch the distant glow of Algiers and Lyon. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to cut through the atmospheric haze common over the desert.
