Left Side Highlights
8.5
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range immediately after takeoff from Palma.

Gulf of Lion

Crossing the Mediterranean from the Balearics toward the French coast near Montpellier and the Rhone Delta.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Western Alps & Mont Blanc

Panoramic views of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps, often including a distant look at Europe's highest peak.

๐Ÿท

Burgundy Region

Flying over the rolling hills and famous vineyards of eastern France as the route heads toward the German border.

๐Ÿฐ

Rhine Valley

Aerial perspectives of the historic Rhine River and the industrial heartland of western Germany.

๐ŸŒฒ

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and the prominent Brocken peak.

Sit on the left for the most dramatic departure scenery. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Alps. Look out early for the stark contrast between the turquoise Balearic waters and the grey limestone of the Tramuntana range.

Warnemรผnde & Baltic Coast

As you descend into Rostock-Laage, look for the white sandy beaches and the busy shipping lanes of the Baltic Sea.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the western sun. Keep an eye out during the final 20 minutes of the flight; as you approach Rostock-Laage from the south, you can often see the sprawling German lakes of the Mecklenburg Lake District.
