Moscow Skyline
On departure, catch a glimpse of the 'Seven Sisters' skyscrapers and the modern Moscow City financial district.
Warsaw City Center
Observe the striking contrast between the Vistula River, the Old Town, and the modern skyscrapers of the Polish capital.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
A vast urban expanse featuring the TV Tower, Tiergarten, and the historic Tempelhof Field.
Harz Mountains
Look for the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mysterious mist.
The Ruhr Valley
Germany's industrial heartland, visible as a continuous network of cities, factories, and light rail lines.
Brussels Approach
Depending on wind direction, you may see the Atomium and the Royal Palace of Laeken just before landing.
The right side is the definitive choice for city-spotters. Since the flight travels largely west-southwest, this side stays in the shade for most of the day, providing perfect lighting for photography. Look out for the distinct grid patterns of German cities mid-flight. In winter, the snow-covered plains of Poland are particularly striking from this vantage point.

Oka River Meanders
Shortly after departure from DME, witness the winding Oka River cutting through the lush Russian plains.
WrocΕaw & Lower Silesia
View the historic architecture and the Odra River bridges of this major Polish cultural hub.
Saxon Switzerland
Glimpse the unique sandstone formations and the Elbe Sandstone Mountains near the German-Czech border.
The Ardennes Forest
Extensive hilly terrain and dense forests covering eastern Belgium as you begin your final descent.
Namur & Meuse Valley
The picturesque confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers marked by the historic Citadelle de Namur.
Sit on the left if you prefer nature and river landscapes. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which can cause significant glare and heat. This side is best for morning flights to see the shadows stretching across the Ardennes.
