Severn Estuary
Aerial perspective of the bridges connecting England and Wales and the Bristol Channel.
Lake Geneva

Bernese Alps
Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as the plane transits Swiss airspace.
Po Valley
The fertile plains of Northern Italy and the meandering Po River during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun at your back, providing better lighting for photos of the Alps. The view of Lake Geneva is a specific highlight on this side just before entering the high mountains.

Mont Blanc
If the route tracks slightly south, the highest peak in Europe is visible to the right.
Milan & Lombardy
The urban sprawl of Milan and the industrial heart of Italy visible during the approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting Mont Blanc, but be aware of significant glare during late morning and afternoon flights. During winter months, this side offers a better view of the setting sun if you are on a late afternoon flight.
