Bordeaux Vineyards
The flight path often crosses over the Aquitaine region, revealing the geometric precision of France's most famous vineyards.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days with an inland route, the sprawling metropolis of Paris and the distinctive needle of the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance.
Lower Saxony Plains
A mosaic of green and gold fields across the North German Plain as you enter German airspace near the city of Bremen.
Hamburg Port
A world-class view of the massive container terminals, the Elbphilharmonie, and the Köhlbrand Bridge during the final approach.
Inner and Outer Alster
The iconic twin lakes at the heart of Hamburg are frequently visible on the right when landing on Runway 05 or 23.
The right side is highly recommended for the 'wow' factor during landing. If the wind is from the west, you will likely fly directly past the city center. For evening flights, this side catches the warm 'golden hour' glow over the European mainland and the North German landscape.

Lanzarote Volcanos
Just minutes after departure from FUE, look out for the dramatic volcanic craters of Timanfaya National Park on the neighboring island.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic water before the flight makes landfall over the rugged cliffs of Brittany, France.
French Atlantic Coast
Excellent views of the white sand beaches of the 'Côte d'Argent' and the impressive Dune of Pilat near Arcachon.
Elbe Estuary
During the descent, witness the massive river mouth meeting the North Sea near Cuxhaven and the Wadden Sea mudflats.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to get the best views of Lanzarote's moon-like landscape immediately after takeoff. This side is also preferred if the aircraft approaches Hamburg from the north, offering views of the North Sea coastline.
