Champagne Region
Aerial view of the world-famous vineyards of Reims and Épernay shortly after takeoff.
Mont Blanc Massif
Breathtaking, close-up views of the highest peak in Western Europe and its surrounding glaciers.
Aosta Valley
The dramatic, deep-cut valley leading from the high Alps into the Italian plains.
Lake Garda
Stunning views of Italy's largest lake, particularly Sirmione and the southern shoreline, during descent.
Po Valley
The vast, geometric patchwork of the fertile North Italian agricultural plains.
The right side is the clear winner for Alpine enthusiasts. For the best view of Mont Blanc, look out approximately 45-55 minutes after departure. When approaching Verona, the plane often banks over Lake Garda; sitting on the right typically provides a superior view of the Sirmione peninsula and the lake's blue expanse before landing.

Jura Mountains
The scenic, forested ridges forming the natural border between France and Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
Distal views of the massive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva.
Swiss Alps Panorama

Opt for the left side on morning flights to have the sun behind you for clearer photography of the Swiss Alps. In winter, this side captures the best light on the snow-covered Jura range. Keep an eye out for the city of Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva about halfway through the flight.
