Costa Verde
Stunning views of the lush green mountains meeting the Atlantic Ocean near Rio de Janeiro.
Fernando de Noronha
If the flight path stays coastal, look out for this volcanic archipelago's emerald peaks in the Atlantic.
French Riviera
The sparkling blue waters of the Côte d'Azur and the glitzy coastline of Nice and Monaco.
Monte Rosa Massif
Incredible proximity to the second highest peak in the Alps during the final approach to Malpensa.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean mid-flight. For the best experience, stay awake for the final 45 minutes of the flight; the approach to MXP from the south often provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Italian Alps and Monte Rosa. Keep your window shade down during the ocean crossing to avoid waking other passengers as the sun rises early in the east.

Serra da Mantiqueira
Rugged mountain views of the Brazilian interior shortly after departing Sao Paulo.
Lisbon & Tagus River
Aerial view of the Portuguese capital and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge upon entering European airspace.
Aquitaine Basin
The sprawling vineyards and river patterns of the Bordeaux region in Southwestern France.
French & Swiss Alps
Distant views of the snow-capped Mont Blanc massif during the descent phase.
Choose the left side if you prefer seeing the urban layout of Lisbon and the rolling hills of Western France. This side is better for avoiding direct sun glare during the morning approach into Europe, providing softer lighting for photography.
