Greater Paris
Panoramic views of the southern Parisian outskirts and the winding Seine River shortly after takeoff.
Frankfurt Skyline
A clear view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and one of Europe's largest aviation hubs, Frankfurt Airport.
Spessart Nature Park
Dense, ancient forest coverage across the Bavarian highlands.
Prague City Center
Spectacular views of Prague Castle, the Vltava River, and the terracotta roofs during the final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Most flights into PRG land on Runway 24; sitting on the right typically provides a stunning view of the city's historic center and bridges. To avoid wing obstruction, choose a seat in rows 1-10 or at the very rear. During the winter months, the afternoon sun can be low on this side, so bring sunglasses for the mid-flight segment.

Champagne Vineyards
The rolling hills of the Grand Est region, featuring the famous vineyards surrounding Reims.
Luxembourg
Views of the Grand Duchy and the deep valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers.
Rhine River
The winding Rhine river as the flight crosses from France into central Germany.
Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range marking the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a great view of the Ardennes in the distance and the industrial heart of the Ruhr region to the north. Watch for the descent over the 'Bohemian Gate' as you enter Czech airspace. If the plane lands towards the West (Runway 24), you will see the northern suburbs of Prague.
