Meuse River Valley
Visible immediately after takeoff, showcasing the winding river and the steep limestone cliffs near Liege.
Namur & Citadel
A distant view of the strategic fortress where the Sambre and Meuse rivers meet.
Charleroi Industrial Heritage
The striking landscape of the 'Black Country' featuring historic steel mills and coal heaps.
Avesnois Regional Park
Lush green bocage landscape characterized by hedgerows and meadows as you cross into France.
Lille Skyline
Direct views of the Euralille business district and the historic belfry during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be behind you. This side is particularly interesting for spotting the industrial architecture of the Sambre-Meuse furrow. Since this is a very short flight, keep your window shade up from takeoff to landing as the cruising altitude is low.

Hesbaye Plains
Geometric patterns of fertile farmlands and sugar beet fields stretching toward the north.
Waterloo Battlefield
On clear days, you may spot the Lion's Mound monument standing prominently on the horizon.
Tournai Cathedral
The five distinctive towers of the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site near the border.
Stade Pierre-Mauroy
The massive, modern roof of Lille's main stadium appears during the descent into Lesquin.
The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the transition from the rolling hills of Middle Belgium to the flat plains of French Flanders. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'terrils' (slag heaps) that dot the landscape near Mons.
