Barcelona Cityscape
Clear view of the Sagrada Familia and the Eixample district's unique square block layout.
The Alps
A breathtaking distant horizon of snow-capped peaks, including Mont Blanc, as the plane crosses into Switzerland.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the tri-point border between Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
Swabian Jura
Limestone plateaus and potential sightings of historic castles during the final approach to Stuttgart.
The right side is superior for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the best view of Barcelona. In winter, the snow-covered Alps on the horizon are a major highlight.
