Ardennes Forest
Dense green rolling hills across Southern Belgium and Northern France shortly after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland and the Matterhorn in the distance.
Lake Geneva
The eastern curve of the crescent-shaped lake and the surrounding Swiss-French mountains.
Ligurian Coastline
The Italian Riviera and the port of Genoa as the plane crosses the Mediterranean coastline.
Sardinia East Coast
The rugged cliffs and turquoise hidden coves of the Costa Smeralda.
Carthage Ruins
Ancient archaeological sites visible on the peninsula during the final approach into Tunis.
Book an early morning flight for the best lighting on the Alps. On arrival, keep your camera ready as the plane turns over the Mediterranean; you will see the white villas of Sidi Bou Said and the ruins of Carthage on this side. Avoid wing seats (rows 12-20 on most A320s) for unobstructed ground views.

Distant views of the French capital's sprawl if the flight path stays westerly.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Europe is often visible as a massive white dome to the east-southeast.
Rhone Valley
The winding river and the famous vineyards of the Lyon and Avignon regions.
The Calanques
Limestone cliffs and deep blue inlets near Marseille as you leave mainland Europe.
Western Sardinia
Views of the wilder, less developed western coast and the island of Asinara.
Lac de Tunis

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a great perspective of the transition from the lush European continent to the arid landscapes of North Africa. Look for the distinct change in sea color from deep navy to bright turquoise as you cross the Tunisian shelf.
