Black Forest Edge
Dense evergreen canopies stretching across the southwestern German horizon.
Bavarian Alps
Dominating the southern horizon, featuring the jagged peaks of the Zugspitze massif on clear days.
Lake Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' with its prominent islands, Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Stunning aerial views of Attersee and Traunsee, known for their deep turquoise glacial waters.
Vienna Woods & City
During the approach into VIE, the right side often catches the Prater Ferris wheel and the Danube Tower.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers. Sit here for morning flights to see the Alps illuminated by the rising sun. During the final approach into Vienna (typically Runway 11 or 16), the right side offers the most iconic views of the city center and the rolling hills of the Vienna Woods. Keep a look out for the Melk Abbey perched above the Danube shortly before landing.

Moselle Valley
Lush vineyard-covered hills and winding river curves immediately after takeoff from Luxembourg.
Frankfurt Skyline
A distant view of Germany's 'Mainhattan' financial district with its distinct skyscraper cluster.
Nuremberg
Clear views of the historic Old Town and the Imperial Castle if the flight path tracks centrally through Germany.
The Blue Danube
Watch the river meander through Regensburg and into the rolling hills of Lower Austria.
Linz Steelworks
The sprawling industrial complexes and river ports of Austria's third-largest city.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun and to get better views of the Danube River valley. In autumn, the morning fog often blankets the river valleys, creating a mystical 'sea of clouds' effect. Watch for the sharp bend in the Danube near Passau if the sky is clear.
