Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the rugged Portuguese and Galician shores as the plane heads north toward the Bay of Biscay.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its collection of historic French châteaux are often visible through the clouds.
Paris Distant View
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl of Paris can be spotted in the distance during the cruise phase.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the Brocken summit, marks the final segment of the flight.
Berlin Cityscape
Unrivaled views of the Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm) and the dense urban core during the descent into the Berlin area.
Sit on the left for the best sunset views on evening flights. During the descent into Berlin, the left side typically offers a clear view of the city center if the aircraft is landing from the east. Keep an eye out roughly 2.5 hours into the flight for the distinctive green cliffs of Northern Spain.

Canarian Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura immediately after takeoff from Gran Canaria.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain, offering a stark contrast to the blue ocean left behind.

The ancient volcanic peaks and lush green forests of south-central France.
Rhine-Main Region
The industrial heartland and sprawling urban areas around Frankfurt and central Germany.
Tropical Islands Resort
The massive, silver dome of the former Aerium hangar, now a water park, is a key landmark just south of Berlin.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Shortly after takeoff, look out for the unique volcanic landscapes of the eastern Canary Islands. As you approach Berlin, watch for the massive Tropical Islands dome, which is one of the largest free-standing halls in the world.
