Black Forest
The dark, dense woodlands of southwestern Germany visible during the initial stage of the flight.
Bernese Oberland
Stunning views of the highest Swiss peaks, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau glaciers.
Lake Como
The distinctively shaped deep-blue lake nestled at the base of the Alps.
Rome and the Tiber
The sprawling historical capital of Italy is often visible to the west during the descent.
Tyrrhenian Islands
Breathtaking views of Ischia and Procida as the plane crosses the coast into the Bay of Naples.
The right side offers superior landscape variety, from Alpine glaciers to the Mediterranean coast. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun sets over the Tyrrhenian Sea, casting a golden glow on the Italian coastline. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the lakes isn't obstructed.

Lake Constance
A vast blue expanse bordering three countries shortly after the climb from Frankfurt.
Eastern Alps
Dramatic views of the limestone peaks and sharp ridges of the Swiss-Austrian border.
Apennine Ridge
The rugged, mountainous backbone of the Italian peninsula stretching towards the south.
Mount Vesuvius
