Moscow Green Belt
Dense birch and pine forests surrounding Domodedovo immediately after takeoff.
Munich & Bavaria
Distant views of the Bavarian capital and the rolling foothills of southern Germany.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The massive lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, visible as a vast turquoise expanse.
Bernese Oberland
Iconic peaks like the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau visible in the Swiss heartland.
Mont Blanc Massif
On clear days, the highest peak in the Alps dominates the southern horizon during the descent.
Book a window seat on the left (typically 'A' seats) for the best mountain views. The lighting is optimal on morning flights as the sun illuminates the Alpine peaks from the south. In winter, the snow-covered Jura and Alps provide a stark, beautiful contrast to the valleys.
