Gargano Peninsula
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the lush Foresta Umbra jutting into the Adriatic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Bernese Alps
Unrivaled views of the Aletsch Glacier and the trio of Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks in Switzerland.
Lake Como
The deep blue, Y-shaped alpine lake surrounded by steep forested mountains and luxury villas.
Upper Middle Rhine Valley
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring steep vineyard terraces and numerous medieval hilltop castles.
Bonn and Cologne
Aerial views of the former West German capital and the massive spires of the Cologne Cathedral.
For the best mountain photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide excellent front-lit views of the Alps, while late afternoon flights offer dramatic shadows across the Rhine gorges. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the mountain crossing.
