Poznań City Center
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a clear view of the Old Town and the Warta River winding through the city.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
As you cross into Germany, the southern outskirts of Berlin and the Brandenburg landscape are often visible.
Ruhr Industrial Valley
A dense network of cities and industrial hubs becomes visible as the flight traverses Western Germany.
Port of Rotterdam
View the intricate logistics and massive shipping containers of Europe's largest seaport near the Dutch coast.
Thames Estuary
Crossing the English Channel, watch the mouth of the Thames where the river meets the North Sea.
London Skyline
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the Shard and the City of London in the distance to the south.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you or to the south. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Dutch coast for the best industrial photography. If landing from the east, the left side provides a better chance of seeing the London city lights at night.
