Po Valley
Extensive views of the Italian fertile plains and the winding Po River shortly after takeoff from Bologna.
Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped central Swiss massifs, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.
Lake Constance
A clear view of the western shores of the Bodensee and the city of Konstanz where Germany meets Switzerland.
Black Forest
The dense, rolling green canopy of the Schwarzwald region as the flight heads into southwestern Germany.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River and its historic hillside castles visible during the northern approach to Frankfurt.

Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible to the northeast shortly after the climb out of the Bologna area.
Eastern Alps
Views of the rugged peaks of the Rhaetian Alps and the borders of the Austrian Tyrol.
Bodensee (East)
Sweeping views of the eastern expanse of Lake Constance towards the city of Friedrichshafen.
Ulm Minster
On clear days, you may spot the world's tallest church spire rising from the city of Ulm.
Frankfurt Skyline
Excellent views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers if the aircraft approaches Frankfurt Airport from the east.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it avoids the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for Lake Garda early in the flight. If the wind is coming from the west, you will likely bank right on arrival, offering a panoramic view of the Frankfurt financial district.
