Cologne Skyline
Shortly after takeoff from DUS, catch a glimpse of the Cologne Cathedral and the industrial Rhine landscape.
French Alps
The primary highlight featuring rugged, snow-capped peaks including distant views of the Mont Blanc massif.
Lac d'Annecy
A stunning turquoise alpine lake visible as the aircraft traverses eastern France toward the south.
Nice Promenade
The iconic curve of the Baie des Anges and the historic Old Town visible during the final approach phase.
Monaco Coastline
If the aircraft circles for a Runway 22 approach, the Principality of Monaco is clearly visible to the left.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the mountains. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the Alps, while late afternoon flights offer a warm glow over the city of Nice. For the best landing experience, choose a window seat on the left to see the famous blue chairs of the Promenade des Anglais.
