Apennine Mountains
Rugged Italian terrain immediately north of Florence as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.
The Matterhorn
The iconic pyramid-shaped peak is often visible during the transit over the Swiss-Italian border.
Champagne Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the famous French vineyards around Reims and Epernay.
Thames Estuary
The winding river entrance, including the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at the Dartford Crossing.
Canary Wharf & The O2
A spectacular close-up view of the financial district and the Millennium Dome during the steep 5.5-degree descent.
The right side is the clear winner for the 'London City' experience. When landing on Runway 27 (the most common direction), you get a front-row seat to the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. Try to book a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine glaciers.

Florence & Tuscany
Aerial views of the Duomo and the red-tiled roofs of Florence immediately after takeoff.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Europe is often visible to the west as you cross the Alpine range.
Lake Geneva
The expansive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva on the border of France and Switzerland.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the distant urban sprawl of Paris can be seen as the flight heads northwest.
The English Channel
Crossing the busy shipping lanes between the French coast and the White Cliffs of Dover.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. For the landing at LCY, this side offers views of the Olympic Park and North London. Look out for the Jura Mountains shortly after crossing the Alps for rugged limestone ridges.
