Bahamian Archipelagos
Stunning turquoise reefs and white sand cays shortly after departing the Cuban coast.
Newfoundland Coastline
Rugged cliffs and potentially icebergs near St. John's if taking a northern Great Circle route.
Southern Ireland
The lush green fields and rocky coast of the Emerald Isle upon reaching European landfall.
London Cityscape
Depending on the air traffic control routing, views of the sprawling Greater London area and the Thames.
Rhine Valley Castles
Historic castles and terraced vineyards along the Rhine River during the descent into Germany.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare. Since this is an eastbound transatlantic flight, the left side remains in the shade during the morning arrival, which is perfect for photography. Watch for the lights of the US Eastern Seaboard if the flight path tracks near the coast before the ocean crossing.

Mid-Atlantic Sunrise
A breathtaking horizon transition from deep purple to golden orange over the ocean during the morning crossing.
English Channel
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes with numerous cargo vessels visible from cruising altitude.
Northern France
The distant sprawl of Paris and the French countryside when flying a more southerly European entry.
Frankfurt Skyline
Views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the Main River during the final approach into FRA.
The right side faces south and east, making it the prime spot for watching the sunrise over the Atlantic. However, be prepared for intense sunlight and heat in the morning hours. During the final minutes of flight, the right side often provides a clearer angle of the Frankfurt financial district if landing towards the west.
