Pilsen (Plzeň)
View the historic industrial hub and birthplace of pilsner lager shortly after takeoff from Prague.
Frankfurt am Main
The 'Mainhattan' skyline is often visible, featuring Germany's tallest skyscrapers clustered along the Main River.
Middle Rhine Valley
Spot the UNESCO-listed gorge with its extreme river bends and numerous hilltop medieval castles near Koblenz.
The Ardennes
Expansive views of the dense, rugged forest plateaus covering Southeast Belgium and Luxembourg.
Brussels Airport Approach
Direct views of the southern outskirts of the capital and the Forêt de Soignes during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best morning light; however, if flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be directly in your face. Watch for the Rhine River crossing approximately 45-50 minutes into the flight. For the best landscape contrast, fly during the transition seasons of spring or autumn.
