Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot with its white limestone cliffs and lush green forests visible shortly after takeoff.
Venice Lagoon
An aerial view of the historic island city and its intricate network of canals as the flight crosses the coast.
The Dolomites
Stark, jagged limestone peaks and UNESCO-listed landscapes that define the crossing into Central Europe.
Munich Skyline
The Bavarian capital's red roofs and the prominent Allianz Arena stadium are often visible to the west.
Sanssouci Palace
The sprawling Prussian gardens and palaces of Potsdam are visible during the final descent into the Berlin area.
The left side is the clear winner for scenery. Sit here for a view of the sunset on evening flights. Most major landmarks, including Venice and the Dolomites, will appear between 30 and 70 minutes into the flight. Keep your camera ready as you leave the Adriatic coast for a potential glimpse of the Venetian islands.

Moravian-Bohemian Border
Rolling hills and rural landscapes as the flight path passes the border regions of the Czech Republic and Germany.
Elbe River Valley
The meandering river valley near Dresden provides a scenic transition into the northern German plains.
Brandenburg Lakes
Dense pine forests and numerous small lakes like the Schwielochsee characteristic of the landscape south of Berlin.
The right side offers softer lighting and less glare during afternoon flights, making it better for reading or resting. Look out for the high glaciers of the Austrian Alps mid-flight. During winter, the snow-covered forests of Brandenburg provide a beautiful, serene view during the final approach.
