Lake Constance
Witness the massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Western Alps
Breathtaking views of the Swiss and French peaks, often including the snow-capped Mont Blanc.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshes of the Rhone River delta near Marseille.
Barcelona Coast
The dense urban grid of Barcelona and the distinctive shape of Montserrat mountain in the distance.
Sierra de Aitana
The rugged limestone mountains that tower behind the Costa Blanca as you descend into Alicante.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Expect to see the Alpine peaks roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Ebro Delta's unique shape. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photography of the French Riviera and Spanish coast.

Immediately after departure from MUC, see the jagged peaks of the northern Alpine rim.
Italian Alps
Distant views of the Dolomites and the Lombardy mountain ranges to the south.
Mediterranean Horizon
A vast, deep blue expanse as the plane crosses the Gulf of Lion towards Spain.
Alicante Bay
If the plane approaches from the sea, get a direct view of the sandy beaches of San Juan.
Sit on the left if you prefer the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea during the second half of the flight. For landing, the left side is superior if the wind dictates an approach from the east (Runway 28), providing a close-up of the Santa Barbara Castle and the city harbor. Morning flights will experience significant sun glare on this side.
