St. Helier & Elizabeth Castle
Dramatic views of Jersey's capital and its historic coastal fortifications immediately after rotation.
Mont Saint-Michel
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the island abbey can be spotted on the horizon to the south.
Seine River Meanders
The intricate, snake-like loops of the Seine as it winds through the French countryside toward Paris.
Northern Black Forest
A sea of dense evergreen trees covering the mountains as the plane crosses into Baden-Württemberg.
Stuttgart TV Tower
The world's first telecommunications tower of its kind, standing tall on the Bopser hill during descent.
The right side is prime for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Black Forest. On the descent into STR, this side typically provides the best view of the city center and the TV tower if the wind favors a western approach. Look for the Vosges Mountains to the far south mid-flight.

Northern Channel Islands
Aerial views of Alderney and the smaller islets north of Jersey shortly after takeoff.
Seine Estuary
The massive industrial port of Le Havre and the expansive mouth of the Seine river opening into the Channel.
Champagne Vineyards
Geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards in the rolling hills of the Grand Est region.
The Rhine River
A clear view of the winding Rhine, marking the geographic border transition from France into Germany.
Ludwigsburg Palace
During northern approaches, look for this massive baroque palace complex just north of Stuttgart.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting the Normandy coast and the industrial landscape of the northern Rhine-Neckar region. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for clear views of the German countryside.
