Upper Middle Rhine Valley
The UNESCO-listed gorge featuring steep vineyards and a high concentration of medieval hilltop castles.
Düsseldorf Approach
Aerial views of the Rhine's winding bends and the urban landscapes of Neuss and western Düsseldorf.
Book an 'A' window seat. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left side, so keep your shades down until you hit the Alps to avoid glare. The best views of the Alps occur approximately 50-60 minutes after takeoff from Cagliari. Look for the iconic silhouette of the Matterhorn slightly to the north-east of the flight path.
