Cyclades Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Aegean Sea and the scattered white-washed island clusters shortly after takeoff.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, standing as the highest peak in Greece, often visible above the cloud line.
Budapest & Danube
A spectacular aerial layout of the Hungarian capital, featuring the Parliament building and the winding Danube River.
Bohemian Massif
Rugged forested terrain and rolling highlands as the flight crosses from the Czech Republic into Germany.
Leipzig Southern Lakes
Views of the Cospudener and Markkleeberger See, former mines transformed into a stunning lake district.
Choose a seat in the front or rear of the wing for unobstructed views. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Aegean islands without the harsh sun glare typical of afternoon journeys. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Danube crossing.

Turkish Coastline
Distant but clear views of the rugged peninsulas and bays along the southwestern coast of Turkey.
Sofia & Vitosha
The Bulgarian capital nestled against the massive Vitosha mountain range during the mid-flight segment.
Ore Mountains
The dense, dark forests of the Erzgebirge marking the natural border between Czechia and Saxony.
Völkerschlachtdenkmal
The massive Monument to the Battle of the Nations becomes visible on the right during the final approach to LEJ.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Watch for the contrast between the Balkan mountains and the Pannonian Basin. During descent, look for the unique architecture of the Leipzig/Halle airport taxiway bridges that cross over the motorway.
