A massive, 585-meter high limestone monolith rising abruptly from the sea just south of Olbia.
Corsican Mountains
Distant views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of central Corsica while crossing the Ligurian Sea.
Mont Blanc & Western Alps
The highest peak in Europe and the dramatic glaciated massifs of the French and Swiss Alps.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman, with the city of Geneva visible at its western tip.
The Ardennes
The rolling green hills and dense forests of Luxembourg and southern Belgium during the mid-flight descent.
Amsterdam City Center
On certain approach patterns (Runway 18R or 06), a clear view of the historic canal rings and harbor.
Choose a seat forward of the wing to capture the Alpine panoramas without engine heat distortion. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes. During the approach to Schiphol, watch for the geometric patterns of the Dutch polders and the North Sea canal.

Costa Smeralda
The stunning turquoise waters and jagged coastline of northern Sardinia during the initial climb.
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
Rhine River Valley
The winding river, historic castles, and steep vineyard terraces of western Germany.
The Randstad
The interconnected urban landscape of Utrecht and the eastern Dutch suburbs during the final descent.
Dutch Canals
