Incredible views of the world's largest man-made lake shortly after departing Accra.
Grand Erg Oriental
Stunning vistas of massive orange sand dunes and rock plateaus in the heart of the Algerian Sahara.
Balearic Islands
Bird's-eye view of Mallorca and Menorca while crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
The Swiss Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps provide a dramatic horizon to the east.
The Rhine River
Follow the winding path of the Rhine as it breaks into the delta nearing the Dutch border.
Dutch Polders
Distinctive reclaimed land and flower fields visible during the final descent into Schiphol.
The right side is essential for viewing Lake Volta—look out within 15 minutes of takeoff. During the day, keep your window shade down over the Sahara to reduce heat and glare, but open it periodically for the high-contrast desert shadows.
