Tuscan Coast
Sweeping views of the Italian mainland, including the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
Mont Blanc
The snow-capped summit of Western Europe's highest peak is often clearly visible.
Lake Geneva
The stunning turquoise waters of Lac Léman and the city of Geneva at its tip.
Champagne Region
The orderly, rolling vineyards of northern France as you head toward the coast.
Sussex Weald
The lush green landscapes and ancient woodlands of southern England during the final approach.
The right side is the 'star' for Alpine scenery. Sit here to see Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva. For the best lighting on these landmarks, a morning or midday flight is ideal as the sun will be behind or above you.

Dramatic views of the Ecrins National Park and the western edges of the Alpine range.
Loire Valley Headwaters
The winding river systems and historic chateaux regions of central France.
