Swedish Lake District
View the vast coniferous forests and deep blue lakes of central Sweden shortly after departure.
Hamburg Port
Aerial perspective of Germany's 'Gateway to the World' and the winding Elbe river.
Parisian Basin
Broad views of the French countryside and occasionally the distant skyline of Paris depending on the air corridor.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus of central France provide a unique, rugged terrain texture from above.
The Pyrenees
A breathtaking close-up crossing of the mountain range separating France and Spain, often covered in snow.
The right side is unbeatable during the final 30 minutes of the flight for the Pyrenees crossing. Sit here for late afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the mountain ridges. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the peaks during the steep descent into Girona.

Gulf of Bothnia
Initial views of the Swedish coastline and the shimmering waters of the northern Baltic Sea.
Stockholm Archipelago
A sprawling network of thousands of islands visible as the flight passes over the Swedish capital area.
Öresund Bridge
The iconic bridge and tunnel system connecting Malmö and Copenhagen across the blue straits.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the white-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps may be visible on the far horizon.
Costa Brava Coastline
Spectacular views of the rugged Mediterranean coast and turquoise waters during the final descent into Girona.
Opt for the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. Watch for the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean as you enter Spanish airspace; the transition from mountain to sea is striking.
