Øresund Bridge
Visible immediately after departure from CPH, connecting Denmark and Sweden over the blue waters.
Berlin & Eastern Germany

The Distant Alps
As the flight traverses France, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the horizon.
Barcelona & Costa Brava
A magnificent view of the Catalan capital and the rugged 'Wild Coast' as you enter Spanish airspace.

A long, scenic stretch following the coastline toward Alicante, featuring numerous bays and resort towns.
Choose the left side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic coastline of the Costa Blanca. This side is also best for seeing the iconic Øresund Bridge during the initial climb if the plane takes off towards the south.

Spanish Meseta
The high, arid plateau of central Spain, offering unique earth-toned patterns and rugged terrain.
Alicante Mountains

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the European mainland.
