Aegean Archipelago
Stunning views of the Turkish coastline and the Greek islands of Chios and Lesbos shortly after departure.
Mount Olympus
The majestic, often snow-capped home of the gods in northern Greece is visible as you head toward the Balkans.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic karst landscapes and rugged mountain ridges stretching across the Balkan Peninsula.
Rhine River Meanders
The winding Rhine River and the urban density of the Rhine-Ruhr region become prominent during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight from the south. Keep an eye out for the distant peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps while cruising over Central Europe, especially on clear winter days.
