Greater London
Panoramic views of the Thames Estuary and the London skyline during the initial ascent.
Ruhr Valley
The massive industrial sprawl and urban density of western Germany's manufacturing heartland.
Harz Mountains
The dark, forested ridges of central Germany, often topped with snow in winter months.
Karkonosze Range
Stunning views of the Sudetes mountains, including Śnieżka peak, as you enter Polish airspace.
Wrocław
The historic 'City of 100 Bridges' is often visible on the descent into Katowice.
This is the superior side for sunset flights, as you'll see the light hitting the mountain peaks of the Polish border. Look for the industrial architecture of Upper Silesia during the final 15 minutes of the flight.

Essex Estuaries
Intricate views of the Blackwater and Colne estuaries immediately after takeoff from Stansted.
Dutch Coastline
The geometric patterns of the polders and the sandy beaches of the West Frisian Islands.
Northern German Plains
Vast stretches of green agricultural land and wind farms across Lower Saxony.
Berlin Silhouette
On more northerly routes, the distant skyline and TV tower of the German capital are visible.
Choose a seat in front of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Dutch coastline about 20-30 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the North Sea.
