Costa Brava
Gaze down at the turquoise waters and hidden coves of the Catalan coastline immediately after takeoff.
The Alps
An incredible stretch of snow-covered peaks, with the possibility of spotting Mont Blanc in the distance.
Lake Constance
Pass over the large lake bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, often shimmering in the sunlight.
Leipzig Skyline
On the final approach, look for the Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the city's historic center.
For the most dramatic Alpine views, book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward sightline. Morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains. During winter months, the contrast between the white peaks and blue lakes is particularly striking.

This side is also excellent for viewing the transition from the Mediterranean climate to the temperate forests of central Europe. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees border crossing.
