Mediterranean Coast
Beautiful views of the Costa Brava as the plane turns north-east from Barcelona.
The Alps
A stunning panoramic traverse of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian Alps, often including the Matterhorn or Mont Blanc in the distance.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible as a bright blue expanse.
Bavarian Landscape
Glimpses of Munich and the surrounding plateau with its distinct grid-like agricultural patterns.
Ore Mountains
The 'Erzgebirge' mountain range provides a scenic backdrop during the final approach into Dresden.
The right side is the clear winner for Alpine enthusiasts. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the best photos of Lake Constance. Early morning flights provide dramatic shadows over the mountain peaks, while evening flights offer a beautiful golden glow over the Ore Mountains near Dresden.
