Central Pyrenees
Direct and spectacular views of the highest snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France.
Alps Silhouette
Distant views of the northern Alpine ranges while crossing into Central Europe.
Prague
Spot the Vltava River and the red-roofed architecture of the Czech capital.
Moscow Approach
Panoramic views of the Moscow Ring Road and urban expansion during the descent into DME.
Right side is best for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the continent. The Pyrenees are usually reached 40 minutes after takeoff; have your camera ready. This side also typically offers better views of the Moscow city center if the wind conditions require an approach from the south.

Sierra de Guadarrama
Rugged mountain peaks immediately north of Madrid visible shortly after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
The dramatic coastline of the Basque Country and the French Atlantic border.
Paris Cityscape
On clear days with a northerly routing, the Eiffel Tower and Parisian sprawl appear in the distance.
Rhine Valley
The winding river and industrial heartland of Western Germany.
Belarusian Forests
Vast, dense stretches of green taiga and wetlands as the plane enters Eastern Europe.
Choose the left side for sunset views on evening flights as the sun will be on the port side of the aircraft. This side is also better if the flight path takes a more northerly route over the Baltic states.
