Red Sea Reefs
Vibrant coral formations and turquoise lagoons visible immediately after departing Hurghada.
Nile Delta
The sharp green line where the fertile Nile valley meets the desert, usually visible about 30 minutes in.
Greek Archipelago
Stunning views of Crete, the Cyclades, or the Peloponnese depending on the specific airway.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate coastline and numerous islands of Croatia as the flight crosses the Adriatic.
High Tauern
Close-up views of Austria's highest mountains, including the Grossglockner massif, shortly before landing.
Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large lake is a landmark for the final descent into Munich.
The right side is the 'scenic' winner for this route. Sit here for the best views of the Aegean islands and the most dramatic Alpine crossings. For photography, a morning flight will have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the Greek islands and the Balkan coastline. Keep your window shade open during the last 45 minutes of the flight for the most spectacular mountain scenery.

Western Desert
Vast stretches of the Sahara's eastern edge with rolling sand dunes visible shortly after takeoff.
Libyan Sea
The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean between the African coast and southern Europe.
The Dolomites
Jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible in the distance during the northern descent.
Lake Starnberg
A prominent Bavarian lake located southwest of Munich, often visible during the final approach.
Hurghada Inland
A unique perspective of the stark contrast between the desert mountains and the resort developments.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. It also provides a better view of the desert's vastness early in the flight. During the winter months, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Italian border regions as you enter central Europe.
