Red Sea Coast
Striking contrast between the turquoise reefs of the Red Sea and the arid mountains of Egypt.
Nile Delta
The lush green expanse where the Nile meets the Mediterranean, a sharp contrast to the surrounding desert.
The Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped European peaks, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc.
Crete and Greece
If on an easterly track, enjoy views of the Greek islands scattered across the blue Aegean.
Parisian Basin
A grand overview of the Seine river winding toward the capital during the final descent.
Choose the right side for morning departures to see the sunrise over the Indian Ocean. This side is consistently better for viewing the Alps, as the flight path usually approaches Paris from the southeast. Ensure you are seated either well forward or behind the wing to capture the Alpine panoramas without obstruction.
