Dodecanese Islands
Stunning views of Rhodes and the scattered Greek islands near the Turkish coast.
Carpathian Mountains
The dramatic, forested ridges of the Eastern Carpathians stretching across Romania.
Budapest
On clear days, the winding Danube River and the distinct layout of the Hungarian capital are visible.
Oresund Bridge
The spectacular bridge-tunnel system connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden, during the final approach.
Amager Coastline
The coastal windmills and modern Danish architecture of Copenhagen's eastern suburbs.
The right side is essential for the Oresund Bridge view; choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. For late afternoon flights, the sun will illuminate the European landscape beautifully from this side. Watch for the Swedish coast just before touchdown.
