English Channel Crossing
Views of the Strait of Dover and the distinctive white chalk cliffs as you exit UK airspace.
The Ardennes
Vast stretches of hilly forest terrain spanning across Belgium and Luxembourg.
Rhine Valley Vineyards
Famous wine-producing slopes and historic castles along the Rhine River near Mainz.
Bavarian Alps
A stunning southern horizon filled with snow-capped peaks during the final 20 minutes of flight.
For the best experience, sit behind the wing to capture the Alpine skyline without obstruction. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights as the light hits the mountains. Ensure you look south (right) specifically during the descent for the best mountain views.
