Berlin & Brandenburg
Aerial views of the German capital and the surrounding lakes of the Brandenburg region shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Bernese Alps
Spectacular snow-capped peaks including the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau as you traverse the heart of Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Leman and the city of Geneva visible near the French border.
Eastern Pyrenees
The rugged transition from the French Massif Central toward the Spanish border mountains.
Costa Brava
The jagged cliffs and turquoise bays of the Catalan coast during the descent into Barcelona.
For the best experience, choose a seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, perfectly illuminating the mountain ranges. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns toward the sea for the final approach into El Prat airport.
