Southern Carpathians
Visible shortly after takeoff from Bucharest, featuring the high peaks of the Făgăraș and Bucegi massifs.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, known for its distinct turquoise color, visible over western Hungary.
The Alps
An extensive view of the snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian Alps stretching along the southern horizon.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' at the intersection of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the southern Schwarzwald region in Germany.
Book a window seat on the left for morning or midday flights to have the sun behind the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after departure for the Romanian mountains and roughly an hour in for the Alpine range.

Budapest
The Hungarian capital bisected by the Danube River, with the Parliament building often visible from high altitude.
Vienna
A clear view of the Austrian capital's layout and the winding Danube island system.
Bavarian Plains
The neat, patchwork agricultural fields of Southern Germany and the Danube's northern path.
Champagne Region
The rolling vineyards and historic landscape around Reims as you enter French airspace.
Vexin Français
The lush green valleys and small villages of the regional natural park during the final descent into Beauvais.
The right side is excellent for city spotting, particularly Budapest and Vienna. On clear days, the descent into Beauvais-Tillé provides a great look at the rural French countryside. Avoid afternoon flights if you dislike direct sunlight, as the sun will be on this side for much of the journey west.
