The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Grossglockner Peak
Look for Austria's highest mountain and the Pasterze Glacier shimmering in the distance.
Elbe River Valley
Follow the winding path of the Elbe River as it snakes through the Saxon Switzerland National Park region.
Dresden
Aerial view of the 'Florence on the Elbe,' showcasing its reconstructed historic center and bridges.
Tropical Islands Dome
A massive, distinct hangar-turned-waterpark located in the Brandenburg countryside just south of Berlin.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers. For the best lighting on the Dolomites, a mid-morning flight is ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the peaks. Keep your camera ready about 25-35 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic alpine scenery. During the final descent, look for the massive airship hangar that now houses Tropical Islands.

Ligurian Coastline
Glimpse the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea and the rugged coastal edges of Northern Tuscany shortly after takeoff.
Western Alps
Views of the Swiss-Italian alpine border peaks including distant sightings of the higher massifs.
Leipzig Cityscape
A clear view of the historic city center and the Völkerschlachtdenkmal monument during the descent phase.
Potsdam Palaces
If the flight path aligns for a northern approach, catch the green expanses of Sanssouci Park and its grand palaces.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. If the plane takes off towards the sea, you may get a quick glance at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, though it is usually small from altitude. Watch for the Po Valley's intricate agricultural patterns halfway through the flight.
