Right Side of the Plane

Berlin Cityscape
An expansive view of the German capital, including the Spree river and the iconic TV tower (Fernsehturm).
Harz Mountains
The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, featuring dramatic peaks and the Brocken mountain.
The Rhine River
The wide, shimmering artery of Europe's economy winding through the industrial German heartland near the Ruhr.
Picardy Plains
The vast, colorful mosaic of the French agricultural landscape north of Paris during the initial approach.
The right side offers indirect lighting, which is perfect for capturing high-contrast aerial photos of Berlin and the Ruhr area. Keep an eye out approximately 55 to 65 minutes after takeoff for the German capital's distinctive circular railway layout.

Warsaw Skyline
Catch a glimpse of the Vistula River and the dense central business district of the Polish capital to the south.
Thuringian Forest
The deep green ridges of the central German highlands stretching towards the horizon.
Champagne Vineyards
The geometric beauty of the world's most famous vineyards near Reims and Epernay as you enter French airspace.
Château de Chantilly
A stunning historic French estate often visible on the final descent into the Paris region.
This side faces south, which leads to intense sun glare during mid-day flights. It is, however, the superior choice for evening flights to see the sunset over the French countryside. Look for the white chalky soil of the Champagne region roughly 30 minutes before landing.
