Istrian Coastline
Immediately after takeoff, view the jagged coastline of Istria, including the Brijuni Islands and the medieval town of Rovinj.
Gulf of Trieste
A wide view of the northernmost tip of the Adriatic Sea where the Mediterranean meets the Italian and Slovenian borders.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, particularly the Marmolada and Sella massifs.
Tyrolean Alps
Aerial perspective of the high-altitude valleys and glaciers around Innsbruck, Austria.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The massive lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria is visible shortly before entering German airspace.
Hohenzollern Castle
On clear days, the iconic fairy-tale castle perched on a hill in the Swabian Jura can be spotted in the distance.
Choose a seat in front of or well behind the wing to capture the dramatic transition from the blue Adriatic to the snow-capped Alps. On afternoon flights, this side receives the best lighting for photography without direct sun glare. Watch for the 'Green Heart of Austria' as you cross the border from Slovenia.

Julian Alps
Views of Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, and the surrounding emerald-green alpine valleys.
Hohe Tauern
The highest range in the Austrian Alps, often featuring the Grossglockner peak on the eastern horizon.
Munich Panorama
On clear days, the city of Munich and the Allianz Arena can be seen to the northeast during the cruise phase.
Spessart Forest
One of Germany's largest contiguous mixed-leaf forests provides a lush green canopy during the descent.
Frankfurt Skyline
During the final approach into FRA (especially when landing on Runway 07), the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are visible on the right.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare while looking south at the Alps. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight; if the wind is from the east, you will have a perfect view of Frankfurt's banking district and the Main River during the descent.
