🌲

Black Forest

Deep green canopies and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique volcanic landscapes and plateaus of south-central France, visible while cruising at altitude.

🌊

Golfe du Lion

The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coast as you transition from land to sea.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A stunning bird's-eye view of Mallorca's rugged northwest mountain range and the famous Sa Calobra road.

⚓

Port de Sóller

The iconic circular bay and harbor of Sóller nestled into the base of the mountains just before landing.

The right side is unbeatable for the 'scenic route' arrival into Palma. Sit here to witness the dramatic contrast between the high peaks of the Tramuntana and the deep blue Mediterranean. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography of the French landscape without glare.

Lake Constance

Glittering views of the Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.
