Julian Alps
Immediately after takeoff, witness the jagged limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav.
Grossglockner
Gaze at Austria's highest peak and its surrounding glaciers as the flight crosses the Hohe Tauern.
Black Forest
Observe the dense, dark evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald in southwestern Germany.
The Ardennes
The rolling, forested hills of eastern Belgium come into view during the initial descent.
Brussels Skyline
On many approach paths, the left side offers a view of the Atomium and the city center before landing.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alpine peaks. Keep your camera ready in the first 15 minutes for the Julian Alps and approximately 25 minutes in for the highest Austrian summits. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the Alpine section significantly more dramatic.

Karawanks
The rugged mountain chain forming the natural border between Slovenia and Austria visible early on.
Munich & Bavaria
Views of the sprawling Bavarian capital and the distinctive Allianz Arena if the flight path is northerly.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, glinting in the distance.
The Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River and the industrial landscapes of the Ruhr and Rhineland regions.
Meuse River
The prominent river valley cutting through the city of Liege shortly before arriving in Brussels.
The right side is superior for spotting urban landmarks and major European river systems. During late afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; however, the sunset over the Rhine can be spectacular. It is the better side for spotting Munich's city layout if the sky is clear.
