Sierra Nevada
Look for the snow-capped Mulhacén peak in southern Spain shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Costa Brava
Enjoy views of the jagged Mediterranean coastline and the turquoise waters of the Balearic Sea.
The High Alps
An incredible panorama of the Swiss and Austrian Alps featuring glaciers and jagged 4,000-meter peaks.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain is often visible on the right during the final approach into Munich.
Starnberger See
A large, beautiful lake south of Munich that signals the final stages of the landing sequence.
The right side is essential for the best alpine views; the 20-minute window over the Alps is the flight's highlight. In winter, the snow cover makes the mountains particularly striking. Sit here for morning flights to see the sunrise reflect off the Mediterranean and the alpine glaciers.
