Barcelona Eixample
A stunning view of Barcelona's iconic grid system and the Sagrada Família right after departure.
The Alps
Breathtaking vistas of the French and Swiss Alps, including snow-capped peaks and glaciers.
Prague Cityscape
The historic center and Vltava River are often visible as the flight path crosses the Czech Republic.
Lake Constance
The vast expanse of Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Polish Lowlands
The geometric patterns of agricultural fields and the Vistula River near Warsaw.
For the best mountain views, aim for a morning flight to avoid the glare of the afternoon sun. Try to sit in front of the wing (Rows 5-10) to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Alps and Prague's architecture. During winter, the snow-covered landscape of Eastern Europe is especially dramatic from this side.
