Tuscan Archipelago
Stunning views of Elba Island and the surrounding Mediterranean turquoise waters.
The Dolomites
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, often providing the flight's scenic peak.
Bavarian Plains
A patchwork of farmland, villages, and the distant sprawl of Munich and the Allianz Arena.
Berlin Skyline
A prime view of the Berlin TV Tower, the Spree River, and the central urban landscape during descent.
The right side is the definitive choice for Alpine photography. Aim for a seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Dolomite peaks. During the approach to Berlin, this side frequently offers a panoramic view of the city's historic landmarks. Seasonal snow cover on the Alps makes winter flights particularly spectacular.

Cap Corse
The rugged northern peninsula of Corsica, known as the 'Finger,' visible immediately after takeoff.
Western Alps
Distinguished views of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alpine ranges in the distance.
Lake Constance
A massive blue expanse marking the borders of Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Thuringian Forest
Deep green rolling hills and dense woodlands of central Germany.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side provides excellent views of the Corsican coastline and the serene waters of Lake Constance. It is also ideal for seeing the sunset on late afternoon departures.
