Moscow Suburbs
Aerial view of the vast Russian landscape and the forested outskirts of the capital upon departure.
Austrian & Swiss Alps
Continuous vistas of dramatic snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys while cruising over Central Europe.
Côte d'Azur Coastline
Spectacular contrast between the turquoise Mediterranean water and the rocky French coastline during descent.
Îles de Lérins
Beautiful islands off the coast of Cannes visible during the low-altitude final approach to land.
Book a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains. The final approach to Nice (NCE) usually involves a sweeping turn over the sea, giving left-side passengers a stunning view of the coastline. For the best lighting on the Alps, choose a morning flight to keep the sun behind you.

Central European Cities
Potential views of the urban layouts of Prague or Munich depending on the specific flight corridor.
Mont Blanc Massif
Glimpse of Western Europe's highest peak if the flight path tracks through the northern Swiss border.
Promenade des Anglais
Iconic aerial view of the famous waterfront and the red-roofed buildings of Nice's Old Town.
Provence Landscapes
Rugged limestone mountains and the foothills of the Prealps visible just before reaching the coast.
The right side is ideal for seeing the city of Nice itself. If the aircraft performs a 'Riviera' approach from the west, you will look directly onto the Promenade des Anglais and the city center. In winter, this side receives more direct sunlight, which is excellent for warming the cabin but can create glare on windows.
