Hamburg & Elbe
Detailed views of Germany's largest port, the Elbe Philharmonic Hall, and the winding river channels.
Kiel Canal
The world's busiest artificial waterway, clearly visible as a straight line cutting across the German-Danish border region.
Danish Islands
Aerial perspective of the Funen and Zealand archipelagos and occasionally the Great Belt Bridge.
Oslofjord
An iconic entry into Norway, passing over a mosaic of thousands of small islands, colorful summer houses, and rocky inlets.
Oslo City Center
During the descent, spot the Barcode district, the Opera House, and the Holmenkollen ski jump in the distance.
On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Oslofjord. The right side is essential for seeing the urban highlights of Northern Germany. During the final 10 minutes, look for the contrast between the deep blue fjord water and the dense green Norwegian spruce forests.

Frankfurt Skyline
Bird's-eye view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the Taunus mountain range during initial climb.
Wadden Sea Coast
Distal views of the UNESCO-listed North Sea mudflats and the Frisian Islands if visibility is high.
Western Jutland
The rugged western coastline of Denmark featuring expansive sand dunes and wind farms.
Tyrifjorden Lake
A large, deep lake surrounded by forested hills as the plane maneuvers west of Oslo for final approach.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during evening flights to avoid direct glare. This side is excellent for viewing the expansive agricultural patterns of Lower Saxony and the unique geographic 'neck' of the Jutland peninsula. Keep an eye out for the Elbe estuary near Cuxhaven.
