Nice Old Town
Immediate views of the terracotta rooftops and the Promenade des Anglais right after takeoff.
Mercantour National Park
Dramatic, close-range views of the Southern Alps' jagged granite peaks and glacial valleys.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Leipzig
Views of the sprawling city and its historic center during the descent into northeastern Germany.
Berlin Cityscape
Prime views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the Spree river during the final approach path.
The right side is generally better for seeing the heart of Berlin. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Mercantour within the first 15 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the approach into the capital.

Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman often visible as the flight crosses into Swiss airspace.
