Hamburg & Elbe River
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a panorama of the Hamburg port, the Elbe Philharmonic Hall, and the winding river path.
Distant Alps
While flying over eastern France, look southeast to spot the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps on the horizon.
Gulf of Lion
The transition from the French mainland to the Mediterranean Sea offers deep blue water contrasts against the rugged southern coast.
Mahón Harbor
Menorca's capital features one of the largest natural harbors in the world, best viewed from the left during the final descent.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. On the descent, keep your camera ready as the plane often banks over the Mediterranean, providing a perfect angle of the Menorcan coastline and the historic fortress of La Mola.

Lower Saxony Plains
Aerial views of the geometric agricultural patterns and massive wind farms typical of Northern Germany.
Massif Central
Fly over the ancient volcanic landscapes and green valleys of central France's rugged interior.
Camargue Lagoons
Near the French coast, look for the unique salt pans and pink-tinted lagoons near Montpellier and the Rhone delta.
Ciutadella & West Coast
As the flight nears the island, see the historic town of Ciutadella and the white sandy coves of the western shore.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the Pyrenees mountains in the far distance to the southwest as you cross the French coastline. During descent, look for the 'Cala' (hidden coves) that Menorca is famous for along the northern coast.
