The French Alps
On clear days, the majestic snow-capped peaks including Mont Blanc are visible to the east.
Rhone Valley Vineyards
The winding Rhone river lined with world-famous terraced vineyards like Hermitage.
Paris Distant Skyline
If the flight path stays east, the sprawling urban mass of Paris and the Eiffel Tower appear in the distance.
Seven Sisters Cliffs
The dramatic white chalk cliffs of the Sussex coast as the aircraft crosses the English Channel.
The morning sun illuminates the Alps beautifully; aim for a flight before 11:00 AM for the best clarity. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best mountain panoramas.
