Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman nestled between the Jura Mountains and the Alps.

London Skyline
Depending on the airway, a spectacular view of the City, the Shard, and the River Thames.
The Peak District

The narrow crossing between the European continent and the British Isles.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing glare on the windows. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for views of the Lombardy lakes, and look for the Kent coastline about 40 minutes before arrival.
