Wroclaw Cityscape
A clear view of the 'Venice of Poland' with its numerous islands and bridges over the Odra river.
Leipzig
Spot the massive Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the modern city center layout.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak and the northernmost mountain range in Germany are visible on the horizon.
Ruhr Metropolis
A sprawling industrial and urban landscape as you enter one of Europe's most densely populated areas.
Cologne Cathedral
The iconic twin spires and the Hohenzollern Bridge are often visible during the final approach into CGN.
The right side is the 'urban' side of the flight. For the best experience, try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Cologne Cathedral during the final bank into the airport. Night flights on this side offer a spectacular view of the illuminated Ruhr area.

Sudetes Mountains
A striking view of the Karkonosze range stretching along the Polish-Czech border shortly after takeoff.
Ore Mountains
Dense, rolling forests of the Erzgebirge marking the transition into German airspace.
Thuringian Forest
A vast green expanse of mountains and valleys in central Germany, particularly vibrant in autumn.
Frankfurt Perimeter
Distant views of the financial hub's skyline to the southwest during the mid-flight cruise.
This side is excellent for nature lovers. For the best lighting, morning flights are preferred as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountains. Watch for the distinctive peak of Sniezka early in the flight.
