Search flights from PMI to HAM
French Riviera
View the vibrant turquoise waters of the Côte d'Azur and the bustling port city of Marseille.
Mont Blanc
Pass close to Europe's highest peak and the dramatic glaciers of the Western Alps.
Lake Geneva
See the massive crescent-shaped lake and the iconic Jet d'Eau in Geneva from above.
Frankfurt Skyline
Identify the 'Mainhattan' skyscraper cluster, Germany's most impressive high-rise district.
Harz Mountains
The dark, forested peaks of central Germany, including the legendary Brocken mountain.
To avoid harsh glare during morning flights, the right side is ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side. The Alpine crossing typically occurs 50 to 70 minutes after departure from PMI; have your camera ready as Mont Blanc is the star of the show. During the final descent into Hamburg, the right side often provides views of the Elbe River and the Port of Hamburg if landing from the south.

Gulf of Lion
Glimpse the rugged coastal intersection where the Pyrenees meet the French Mediterranean coast.
Massif Central
Fly over the ancient volcanic landscapes and deep river gorges of south-central France.
Greater Paris
On exceptionally clear days, the distant sprawl of the French capital may be visible to the far west.
Lower Saxony
The distinct flat patchwork of agricultural fields and wind farms characteristic of Northern Germany.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. Keep an eye out for the Rhone River snaking through the French landscape about 40 minutes into the flight. For the best view of the Pyrenees far in the distance, look west shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
