Wicklow Mountains
Rugged granite peaks and peat bogs south of Dublin visible during the initial climb.
Dutch Canal System
The intricate network of canals and polders around Amsterdam and the Randstad region.
The Ruhr Valley
Germany's industrial core, appearing as a continuous urban landscape of factories and cities.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak and dense forests visible to the south during the mid-flight cruise.
Berlin TV Tower
The iconic Fernsehturm and central city landmarks often visible during a southern approach to the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the European continent. Keep an eye out for the vast Müggelsee lake just before landing at the Schönefeld/Brandenburg site. In winter, the Harz mountains are often beautifully snow-capped.

Howth Head
Dramatic cliff views of Dublin's northern peninsula immediately after takeoff from DUB.
North West England
Aerial perspectives of Liverpool and the Mersey Estuary depending on the flight corridor.
The Wash
The distinct square-shaped estuary on the East Anglian coast before crossing the North Sea.
Offshore Wind Farms

Potsdam Palaces
The historic Sanssouci Park and its grand architecture visible during the descent into Berlin.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Dublin coastline during departure. If the flight approach into Berlin is from the west (standard for westerly winds), you will see the lakes and palaces of Potsdam. Morning flights offer crisp lighting for these northern features without the sun's glare.
