French Riviera
A stunning sequence of coastal views including Marseille, Nice, and the principality of Monaco along the Mediterranean.
Venice Lagoon
The iconic 'S' shape of the Grand Canal and the surrounding islands of the Venetian lagoon are often visible.
Lake Balaton
The milky-turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake provide a striking color contrast against the Hungarian plains.
Budapest
One of the best aerial city views in Europe, featuring the Parliament building, the Buda Castle, and the historic bridges.
On morning flights, this side avoids the harshest direct sunlight, making it better for photography. Keep a close watch roughly 90 minutes into the flight for the transition from the Italian coast to the Hungarian landscape.

The Alps
Breathtaking views of the high peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc depending on the specific airway.
Vienna
Clear views of the Austrian capital's layout and the expansive Danube Island as you transit Central Europe.
Western Ukraine
The dense forests and rolling terrain of the northern Carpathian foothills as the descent toward Kiev begins.
BCN Climb
Views of the Montserrat mountain range and the Catalan hinterlands shortly after departure from Barcelona.
Sit forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine peaks. This side is particularly spectacular during late afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the mountains from the south, creating dramatic shadows.
