Costa Brava
Breathtaking views of the rugged Catalan coastline and the city of Barcelona as you head northeast.
The Swiss Alps
Spectacular aerial panoramas of snow-capped peaks and glaciers across Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Western Europe's largest lake, shared by France and Switzerland.
Bohemian Massif
Rolling hills and ancient forests as the plane crosses the border from Germany into the Czech Republic.
Kraków Cityscape
A glimpse of the Vistula River and the historic Old Town during the final approach into KRK.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide excellent illumination of the Alps without harsh glare. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean blue to the high-altitude whites of the Swiss range roughly 70-90 minutes into the flight.

Balearic Sea
Deep blue expanses of the Mediterranean departing from the Spanish coast.
French Riviera
Views of the glittering coastline near Marseille and the Gulf of Lion.
Mont Blanc & Matterhorn
Distant views of the highest peaks in the Alps, often visible on the southern horizon.
Tatra Mountains
Rugged, jagged peaks on the border of Slovakia and Poland visible during the descent.
Silesian Highlands
The industrial heartland and green forests of Southern Poland just before landing.
Sit on the right for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the descent into Krakow if the wind is from the East, as the flight path may circle over the stunning Tatra Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the most dramatic mountain vistas.
