White Cliffs of Dover
Dramatic views of the iconic English coastline and the French 'Cote d'Opale' simultaneously.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, reflecting the sky at high altitude.
Central Alpine Chain
Spectacular south-facing views of the snow-capped Austrian and Italian Alps, providing the best light for photography.
Brijuni National Park
A cluster of 14 islands known for their beauty and historical significance, visible just before touchdown.
Istrian Coastline
The deep blue Adriatic Sea meeting the rugged, pine-fringed limestone coast of the Istrian peninsula.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, illuminating the Alps and the Croatian coast perfectly. Look out for the Brijuni Islands approximately 5-10 minutes before landing; they appear as emerald gems in the blue Adriatic.

East Anglian Countryside
Lush green patchwork fields of Essex and the Thames Estuary shortly after takeoff from Stansted.
Strait of Dover
Aerial view of the narrowest part of the English Channel, often dotted with massive cargo ships.
Julian Alps
Rugged limestone peaks of the Slovenian Alps, including views towards Triglav National Park.
Pula Arena
The remarkably preserved Roman amphitheater is often visible on the left during the final approach path.
Rhine River
Aerial views of the winding Rhine as the flight path crosses from Western Europe towards Central Europe.
Sit on the left for a higher chance of spotting the Pula Arena and the city center during landing. Morning flights on this side will face the sun, so keep your window shade adjusted to avoid glare while photographing the Alps.
