Barcelona & Montserrat
Aerial views of the iconic city grid and the jagged peaks of the Montserrat massif shortly after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing over the high peaks of the mountain range separating Spain and France.
Massif Central
The extinct volcanoes and rugged plateaus of central France visible during the mid-flight segment.
The Wadden Sea
The UNESCO-listed tidal flats and islands along the German and Danish coasts.
West Jutland Coast
The long, windswept sandy beaches and dunes of the Danish North Sea coastline during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare while viewing the Pyrenees. This side is also preferred for seeing the transition from the North Sea to the Danish mainland. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to maximize the view of the coastline during the final descent into Aalborg.

Costa Brava
Views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the rugged cliffs of the Catalan coast during the climb.
Jura Mountains
The rolling limestone ridges of the Jura range visible to the east while traversing France.
Hamburg & the Elbe
A potential view of Germany's largest port and the wide Elbe River estuary.
Limfjord
The complex system of sounds and bays surrounding Aalborg visible during the final approach.
Lüneburg Heath
The vast green expanses of Northern Germany's heathlands before crossing into Denmark.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as it avoids direct sunlight. It offers better views of the Limfjord if the plane approaches Aalborg from the east. Keep an eye out for the Elbe River when crossing Northern Germany, as the industrial landscape and port of Hamburg are often visible from this side.
