Paris Landmarks
Excellent chance to spot the Eiffel Tower and the Seine if takeoff is towards the east/southeast.
Swiss Alpine Panorama
A distant but majestic view of the high-altitude peaks of the Bernese Oberland and Central Switzerland.
High Tauern Range
Dramatic views of Austria's highest mountains, including the Grossglockner massif.
Julian Alps
The jagged limestone summits of Slovenia, featuring Mount Triglav, the country's highest point.
Ljubljana
The Slovenian capital city and its surrounding marshes visible during the initial descent phase.
Medvednica Mountain
The forested slopes of Mount Sljeme overlooking Zagreb as the plane prepares for landing.
Sit behind the wing for the best photography of the Alpine chain. On late afternoon flights, the 'golden hour' light provides stunning depth to the mountain ridges. Keep your camera ready as the plane crosses the Austrian-Slovenian border for the most dramatic vertical relief views.

Northern Paris Outskirts
Aerial views of the Saint-Denis district and the intricate layout of the northern Parisian suburbs.
Champagne Region
The geometric patterns of the famous French vineyards rolling across the landscape of Grand Est.
Black Forest
Dense, dark green woodland stretching across the southwestern corner of Germany.
Lake Constance
Looking north across the expansive blue waters of the Bodensee toward the German shoreline.
Northern Limestone Alps
The rugged, grey limestone peaks of the northern Austrian mountains near the border with Germany.
Maribor
