Galtee Mountains
Ireland's highest inland mountain range visible shortly after departing the Shannon region.
Bristol Channel
Expansive views of the Severn Estuary and the bridges connecting Wales to South West England.
London Outskirts
The massive urban footprint of Greater London is frequently visible to the south on clear days.
Rhine River
The winding silver ribbon of the Rhine, Germany's most important waterway, cutting through the landscape.
Karkonosze Mountains
The 'Giant Mountains' on the Polish-Czech border provide a dramatic backdrop during the final descent into Wrocław.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase, as the Sudetes mountain range offers the most dramatic scenery of the trip. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the Rhine and the Sudetes bathed in warmer light. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of Śnieżka, the highest peak in the region, just before landing.

Harz Mountains
Dense forest coverage and rolling hills in central Germany providing a green contrast to the plains.
Wrocław City Panorama

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. It is the best side for viewing the industrial heart of the Netherlands and Northern Germany. During descent into WRO, this side often provides a clearer view of the city's historic center if the wind is from the west.
