Transatlantic Sunrise
A vivid, multi-colored sunrise over the Atlantic as the aircraft moves toward the morning sun.
The Azores
Occasional sightings of the volcanic peaks of the Azores islands depending on the day's jet stream route.
French Heartland
Beautiful morning views of the geometric farmlands and river valleys of central France.
Rhine Valley
Views of the historic Rhine River and its industrial barges as you enter German airspace.
Frankfurt Skyline
The best angle for viewing 'Mainhattan,' the cluster of skyscrapers in Frankfurt's financial district.
The right side is the 'sunrise side' for this eastbound route. Since the flight arrives in Frankfurt in the afternoon or morning, you will have daylight views of Europe. On the final approach to FRA, pilots often follow the Main River, and the right side typically gets the most direct view of the city's impressive skyline. Seats in front of the wing are recommended to avoid engine heat distortion.

Andean Cordillera
Dramatic views of the Eastern Andes and the Bogota savanna immediately after takeoff.
Caribbean Blue
Exiting the South American continent over the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Celestial Horizon
Unobstructed views of the northern constellations and potential Aurora Borealis during winter months.
European Coastline
First sight of the European continent, typically the rugged coasts of Brittany or the English Channel.
Taunus Mountains
Densely forested ridges north of Frankfurt during the final minutes of flight.
Select the left side if you want the best views of Bogota's urban sprawl against the mountains during departure. For the overnight portion, this side faces north, making it the better choice for stargazing or spotting the Northern Lights if the flight path tracks high enough toward the Arctic Circle during winter.
