Scandinavian Vistas
Spectacular views of the southern Swedish coastline and the rugged terrain of Norway's lower regions.
Subarctic Glances
On northern-biased routes, you may catch distant glimpses of Iceland's glaciers or Greenland's ice sheet.
Turks and Caicos
As the plane descends, the vibrant turquoise waters and coral formations of the Turks and Caicos are often visible.
Samana Peninsula
Aerial views of the lush, mountainous Samana Peninsula of the Dominican Republic shortly before landing at PUJ.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. To maximize your chances of seeing the Caribbean reefs, choose a seat ahead of the wing. If the pilot takes a Great Circle route, keep your eyes peeled about 4-5 hours into the flight for potential views of Arctic ice formations. Morning departures provide the best lighting for photography on this side.

Baltic Shorelines
Bird's eye view of the Baltic States, including the coastlines of Estonia and Latvia shortly after departure.
Western Europe
Occasional views of the southern UK and Ireland coastlines depending on the specific air corridor assigned.
Atlantic Sunset
On evening flights, the left side provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the vast North Atlantic horizon.
Lesser Antilles
Distant views of the Caribbean island chain as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into the Dominican Republic.
The left side is preferable for passengers who enjoy watching the sunset over the ocean. If the flight departs in the late afternoon, the glare can be intense, so keep your window shade partially closed until the sun dips lower. During winter months, this side remains dark for a significant portion of the transatlantic crossing.
