The Dolomites
Spectacular UNESCO World Heritage limestone peaks including the Marmolada and the Sella Group.
Grossglockner
Austria's highest peak is often visible in the distance within the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large lake features several islands and is a landmark for the crossing into Germany.
Dresden
The 'Florence on the Elbe' with its reconstructed historic center visible as the plane enters the North German Plain.
Spreewald Biosphere
A unique landscape of thousands of small waterways and forests just south of the Berlin approach.
The right side is superior for morning flights as the sun illuminates the rugged eastern faces of the Alps. For the best experience, try to sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Look out for the transition from the jagged Alps to the perfectly flat Brandenburg landscape in the final 20 minutes.

Lake Garda

Ötztal Alps
Glaciated peaks along the Italian-Austrian border, including the site where the Iceman Oetzi was found.
Munich Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the Bavarian capital and the Allianz Arena's distinct circular architecture.
Nuremberg
The historic Bavarian city known for its medieval architecture and significant imperial history.
Leipzig
A major urban center in Saxony featuring large industrial and logistical hubs visible during the descent.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Alps. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of the Brenta Dolomites early in the flight. In winter, this side offers great views of the sun reflecting off the snow-covered western slopes.
