Southern Uplands
Rolling green hills and moorlands of southern Scotland shortly after departure from Glasgow.
Tyneside Coast
The industrial and scenic mouth of the River Tyne as the aircraft leaves the English coast for the North Sea.
IJsselmeer & Polders
Vibrant views of the Dutch coastline, including the massive reclaimed land areas and the Afsluitdijk.
Potsdam Palaces
A stunning view of the Sanssouci area and the Havel river system as you descend into the Berlin area.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. For the best views of the Berlin suburbs and the interconnected lakes of Potsdam, ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed downward view during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
