Lanzarote & Fuerteventura
Stunning volcanic craters and desert landscapes visible within the first 20 minutes of flight.
Distant Pyrenees
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the border between Spain and France are visible on the horizon.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of central France provide a textured landscape.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as the flight enters German airspace.
Nuremberg Skyline
A great view of the Imperial Castle and the historic Old Town depending on the landing runway (Runway 28).
Ensure you are by the window immediately after takeoff to catch the eastern Canary Islands. For the best views of the German landscape, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the volcanic terrain of Lanzarote.
