Dutch Polders
View the intricate network of canals and reclaimed land immediately after departing Schiphol.
The French Alps
Breathtaking views of the high peaks of the Vanoise and Ecrins National Parks as you head south.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patterns of world-famous wine regions passing through central France.
Cap Corse
The 'finger' of northern Corsica appearing out of the Mediterranean as the plane begins its descent.
Monte Cinto
Corsica's highest peak often remains visible to the left during the final approach into Ajaccio.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for mountain lovers, as you will track just west of the main Alpine chain, providing clear views of high-altitude glaciers in summer and snow-covered massifs in winter.
