Lake Geneva
Unrivaled views of the crescent-shaped Lac Léman and the Jet d'Eau shortly after departure.
The Swiss Alps
Spectacular distant views of snow-capped peaks including the Bernese Oberland and Mont Blanc.
Black Forest
Fly over the iconic dark, evergreen canopies of southwestern Germany's famous mountain range.
Harz Mountains
Northern Germany's highest range, often shrouded in mist or snow, providing a rugged landscape view.
Øresund Bridge
The world-famous combined railway and motorway bridge connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden.
The right side is highly recommended for the initial climb out of Geneva to capture the Alpine panorama. For the approach into CPH, the right side usually provides the best view of the Øresund Bridge and the artificial island of Peberholm. Morning flights are perfect for this side to see the sun rising over the Baltic Sea as you enter Scandinavian airspace.

Jura Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges forming the border between Switzerland and France shortly after takeoff.
Vosges Region
Views of the rounded peaks and dense forests of eastern France during the climb.
Frankfurt Skyline
Distant views of Germany's financial hub and its cluster of high-rise skyscrapers.
The Wadden Sea
On clear days, the distant North Sea coastline and German estuaries are visible to the west.
Great Belt Bridge
A massive engineering feat connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand during the descent.
Select the left side if you prefer views of the Jura range and the interior of the Danish archipelago. This side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare on your window and improving photo quality. During landing, watch for the Great Belt Bridge if the aircraft approaches from the west.
