Costa Smeralda
Aerial glimpses of Northeast Sardinia's turquoise waters and luxury yacht harbors.
Swiss Alps Massif
Prime views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where the borders of Switzerland, Germany, and Austria meet.
Frankfurt Skyline
The cluster of skyscrapers known as 'Mainhattan' visible during the descent into the German interior.
Westfalenstadion
On the final approach to Dortmund, you may spot the iconic yellow pylons of the BVB stadium.
For the most dramatic mountain scenery, the right side is preferred as it typically faces the higher peaks of the Central Alps. To avoid the harshest shadows on the mountains, morning flights are best for this side. Keep your camera ready roughly 40 to 50 minutes after takeoff for the Alpine peak.

Capo Caccia
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area immediately after takeoff from Alghero.
Western Corsica
Rugged granite coastlines and deep blue gulfs of the Scandola Nature Reserve.
Lake Geneva
The crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva appearing as the flight enters Swiss airspace.
Middle Rhine Valley
The UNESCO-listed valley featuring steep vineyards and numerous medieval hilltop castles.
The left side is unbeatable for the initial climb out of Alghero to see the Porto Conte bay. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, this side will face the direct sun for most of the northward journey, which can make photography difficult due to glare.
