Atlantic Sunrise
A spectacular view of the sun rising over the horizon as the aircraft approaches the European coastline.
Côte d'Azur

Book a seat on the right to maximize your chances of seeing the Italian lakes. Since this is an overnight flight arriving in the morning, the right side will face south/east, providing the best light for photography of the European coastline and the Alpine descent. Use a polarizing filter if possible to manage the morning sun glare.
