Algiers Bay
A stunning aerial view of the 'White City' and its massive harbor immediately after takeoff.
Western Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps along the eastern horizon during mid-flight.
Rhone Valley
The deep river valley and steep vineyards of the famous Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie wine regions.
Champagne Region
The orderly grid-like patterns of the world-famous vineyards surrounding Reims.
Brussels Approach
A clear view of the suburban landscape and often the city center's landmarks like the Atomium depending on the runway in use.
Sit on the right for the best morning light on the Alps. About 50-60 minutes into the flight, look East to spot Mont Blanc on a clear day. During winter months, the contrast between the sunny Mediterranean and the snow-covered peaks is particularly dramatic. For the arrival into BRU, keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for urban views.

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic horizon and the French interior. It is also the quieter side for glare if flying in the early morning. Watch for the transition from the arid Algerian landscape to the lush greens of France roughly 40 minutes after takeoff.
