French Riviera & Monaco
The glamorous coastline of the Cote d'Azur, including Nice and the Principality of Monaco, often visible as you cross into the Alps.
Swiss Bernese Alps
Aerial perspective of iconic snow-capped peaks such as the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The massive lake where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often reflecting the sun in the morning.
Prague Cityscape

Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying NE, as the sun will be behind you or to the right. This side is particularly spectacular in winter when the Alps are fully snow-covered. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the high-altitude mountain vistas.

Beskids Mountains
The forested ridges of the Beskids provide a scenic backdrop as you cross the border from Czechia into Poland.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning departures. However, be aware of potential glare from the sun when flying north-east. During the final approach into Katowice, this side often provides a better view of the industrial heritage sites of the Upper Silesian Metropolitan Area.
