Cap Corse
A stunning view of the 'finger' of Corsica, featuring mountainous ridges dropping straight into the turquoise Ligurian Sea.
Riviera dei Fiori
The picturesque coastline near Sanremo where the Maritime Alps meet the Mediterranean.
Western Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks, potentially including the Matterhorn and the Eiger in the distance.
Lake Lucerne
The complex, fjord-like shape of this Swiss lake nestled among steep mountain slopes.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen forests of southwestern Germany as the plane begins its final approach.
Sit on the left for the best mountain photography; the morning sun will illuminate the Alps from the east, highlighting the textures of the glaciers. Watch for the sharp transition from the blue Mediterranean to the white peaks of Switzerland within just 20 minutes of flight.

Port of Genoa
A bird's-eye view of Italy's largest commercial seaport and the dense urban sprawl of the historic city.
Milan & Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural plains of Northern Italy with the skyscrapers of Milan visible on clear days.
Glarus Alps
Dramatic limestone formations and glacial valleys of the Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Swabian Jura
The rugged plateau of Southern Germany, characterized by limestone cliffs and occasional hilltop castles.
The right side is ideal for seeing the expansive Lake Constance (Bodensee). If flying in the late afternoon, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making it easier to spot the various islands and ferries on the lake and the distinct cities along the shoreline.
