Thames Estuary
Aerial view of the industrial and natural landscape where the Thames meets the North Sea.
Brussels & Wallonia
A clear view of the Belgian capital's urban sprawl and the rolling plains of the south.
Luxembourg City
The dramatic deep river valleys and old fortifications of this tiny capital are often visible.
Moselle River Loops
Stunning 'S' curves of the river with steep vineyard-covered slopes near the German border.
Rhine Valley Industries
The complex industrial and logistics landscape of the Upper Rhine Plain during final descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the iconic Moselle loops. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making photography of the vineyards much easier. Look out for Luxembourg roughly 45 minutes into the flight.

Distant views of the London skyline and the Shard if the departure path curves southward.
French Opal Coast
The white cliffs and sandy beaches of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France.
Ardennes Forest
Dense, dark green forest canopy covering the hills of the Belgian-French border.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded 'ballon' peaks of the French mountains visible just before crossing into Germany.
Black Forest
The imposing silhouette of the Schwarzwald rising to the east as you approach Baden-Baden.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset over the French countryside on late afternoon flights. During the descent into FKB, the right side provides a panoramic view of the Black Forest's edge. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle color changes in the Ardennes.
