Apennine Mountains
The rugged limestone spine of Italy visible immediately after climbing out of the Rome area.
The Dolomites
Arguably the most scenic part of the flight, featuring the jagged, pale-colored peaks of the Italian Alps.
Munich and Bavaria
Aerial views of the Bavarian capital and the distinctive landscape of Southern Germany.
Baltic Sea Coast
The transition from the German mainland to the Baltic Sea, dotted with ferries and wind farms.
Oresund Bridge
During the descent into CPH, get a perfect view of the bridge-tunnel system connecting Denmark to Sweden.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'bridge view' during the final approach into Copenhagen. If the wind is from the east, you will fly directly alongside the Oresund Bridge. For the best photography of the Dolomites, choose a mid-day flight when the sun is high to minimize shadows in the deep valleys.

Tuscan Countryside
View the rolling green hills and vineyards of Tuscany shortly after departure from Rome.
Swiss-Austrian Alps
Cross over the high, snow-capped peaks of the central Alpine range with deep glacial valleys.
Lake Constance
A massive lake bordering Switzerland, Germany, and Austria visible as the plane enters German airspace.
Rhine-Main Region
The industrial and historical heart of Germany, including the densely populated Frankfurt area.
North Sea Coast
The shimmering waters of the North Sea become visible as the flight approaches the Jutland peninsula.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is also excellent for sunset views on late-afternoon departures, as you'll see the sun dipping toward the horizon over Western Europe. Keep an eye out for the Elbe River as you cross Northern Germany.
