Florida Gold Coast
Breathtaking views of Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and the turquoise Atlantic waters during the initial climb.
Outer Banks
A clear view of the thin, sandy barrier islands stretching along the coast of North Carolina.
Newfoundland Coastline
The dramatic, rocky terrain and deep fjords of eastern Canada as the flight enters the Atlantic crossing.
Greenland Glaciers
On many trans-Atlantic routes, you can see the massive white expanse and jagged icebergs of Southern Greenland.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy arrays visible in the shallow waters near the Dutch and German coasts.
Choose the left side for the best chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis during the middle of the night in winter months. Upon departure from MIA, the left side usually offers the best view of the Miami skyline if the flight takes off toward the east. Ensure your window is clear before the Atlantic crossing for sunrise views over the ocean.

Brandenburg Forests

Berlin Skyline
A view of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and central Berlin on final approach to Tegel depending on wind direction.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunrise over the Atlantic, which usually occurs halfway through the flight. If the aircraft approaches TXL from the west, the right side often provides a more direct view of the city center and the Spree River. Be aware that most of the mid-flight window will be dark during this eastbound overnight journey.
