Stunning views of the turquoise Mediterranean and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif shortly after takeoff.

Peer out at the highest peak in the Alps, usually visible as a massive snow-capped dome on the left side of the aircraft.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake marks the transition from the high Alps into the Jura mountain range.
Rhine River
Follow the winding path of the Rhine as you traverse the heart of western Germany toward the north.
Port of Hamburg
Incredible views of the Elbe river and the massive container terminals during the final descent into the city.
Request a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine peaks. In winter, the snow-covered mountains are breathtaking, while morning flights provide the best lighting. When approaching Hamburg from the south, the left side offers the premier view of the harbor and industrial landmarks.
