Cotswolds and Thames Valley
Lush green rolling hills of Southern England and the source of the River Thames immediately after takeoff.
Greater London
On a clear day, the northern horizon reveals the sprawling London skyline and the M25 orbital motorway.
Brussels and Low Countries
Dense urban patterns of the Belgian capital and the flat, interconnected landscapes of the Benelux region.
Frankfurt Skyline
The distinctive skyscrapers of Germany's financial hub, often referred to as Mainhattan, visible to the north.
Prague and Bohemia
Views of the Czech capital's spires and the surrounding rolling forests of the Bohemian basin.

Ardennes Forest
The deep green, hilly expanse of the Ardennes stretching across Belgium, Luxembourg, and France.
Rhine River Valley
The winding Rhine River flanked by steep vineyard-covered hills and medieval hilltop castles.
The Alpine Horizon
In clear weather, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps are visible far to the south.
Lake Balaton
Depending on the specific arrival vector, Central Europe's largest freshwater lake may appear as a turquoise sliver.
Buda Hills
The final descent offers views of the historic Gellert Hill and the residential greenery of the Buda side.
