Cyclades Islands
Aerial views of the Greek archipelagos and the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea shortly after departure.
Swiss and Austrian Alps
Breathtaking vistas of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Brussels and Benelux
Dense urban grids and the intricate canal networks of the Low Countries.
The Lake District
Unrivaled views of Windermere and the rugged fells of Cumbria during the UK transit.
Firth of Clyde
A scenic descent over the Scottish coastline, passing the Isle of Arran and the tail of the bank.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the plane, reducing glare on the windows. Watch for the transition from the blue Mediterranean to the white Alps roughly 2 hours into the flight. On the final approach to Glasgow, look out for the Erskine Bridge and the cranes of the River Clyde.

Rhodes and Dodecanese
Distant views of the eastern Greek islands and the jagged coastline of southwestern Turkey.
Austrian Alps
Jagged limestone peaks of the Tyrol region and the rolling foothills of Bavaria.
Port of Rotterdam
The massive scale of one of the world's largest shipping ports and the North Sea coastline.
Edinburgh and Forth Bridges
On clear days during the descent, look east to spot the iconic rail bridge and Edinburgh Castle.
Stirlingshire and The Ochils
Views of the Wallace Monument and the rolling green hills of central Scotland before landing.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. Look for the distinct 'checkerboard' landscape of the English Midlands. If the flight path takes a more easterly route over the UK, you will have a better view of the North York Moors and the Pennines.
