Norwegian Coastline
Witness the rugged 'Skjærgård' (archipelago) and rocky inlets of Southern Norway as you head toward the North Sea.
Jutland Peninsula
Clear views of the long, sandy beaches of Denmark's west coast and the unique Wadden Sea tidal flats.
Swiss & Italian Alps
On a clear day, the right side offers a panoramic view of the highest peaks in Europe, including potential views of the Dolomites.
Dalmatian Coast
A major highlight featuring the turquoise waters and thousands of white-pebbled islands of the Croatian coast.
Peloponnese & Gramvousa
The descent into Chania often passes the rugged Mani Peninsula and the stunning turquoise lagoons near Balos.
This is the best side for coastal enthusiasts. For the descent into Chania (CHQ), the right side usually provides a better view of the Cretan coastline and the White Mountains (Lefka Ori). Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Adriatic islands.
Book Hotels in ChaniaHardangerfjord Region
Immediately after take-off, enjoy views of Norway's second-longest fjord and the Folgefonna glacier to the east.
Central European Cities
Possible sightings of Hamburg or Berlin depending on the specific airway, followed by the rolling plains of Germany.
Austrian Alps
A breathtaking traverse over the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range and the jagged peaks of the Eastern Alps.
Balkan Interior
Rugged, mountainous terrain through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, showing deep river canyons.
Aegean Islands
As the plane nears Crete, the left side provides the first glimpses of the Cyclades scattered across the deep blue sea.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the mountains, but it can be quite bright. It offers the best views of the inland glaciers in Norway shortly after departure. Keep an eye out for the Dinaric Alps over the Balkans which look particularly dramatic in the afternoon light.
