Costa Brava
Stunning views of the rugged Catalan coastline and turquoise Mediterranean waters right after takeoff.
Western Alps
A clear view of the high Alps and Mont Blanc in the distance as the plane crosses France.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake on the border of France and Switzerland is often visible to the east.
Frankfurt am Main
The 'Mainhattan' skyline and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs from high altitude.
Øresund Bridge
A spectacular view of the bridge-tunnel system linking Copenhagen and Malmö during the final descent.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic landmarks. The Øresund Bridge is best viewed if the flight approaches Copenhagen from the south or east. In winter, the right side provides the best visibility of the snowy Alpine range to the east.
