Bastia City
A bird's-eye view of the historic port and the citadel of Bastia shortly after takeoff.
Genoa Harbor
Views of the sprawling Italian port city of Genoa and the vibrant Ligurian coastline.
Bernese Alps
Dramatic proximity to the snow-capped Swiss peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' which serves as the aquatic border between Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river and its industrial heartland leading directly into the Düsseldorf area.
The right side is the premier choice for mountain lovers. Sit here to see the most impressive Swiss peaks roughly 35-45 minutes into the flight. For the best photography, morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Alps and the Rhine valley clearly.
