Main River Valley
Scenic curves of the Main river and the historic city of Würzburg visible shortly after departure.
Thuringian Forest
Dense, dark green mountain ridges that stretch across the heart of central Germany.
Lübeck Bay
The coastline of the Baltic Sea, featuring the beach resorts of Travemünde and the Bay of Lübeck.
Fehmarn Island
The Fehmarn Sound Bridge connecting the island to the mainland is a prominent landmark from above.
Møns Klint
The striking white chalk cliffs on the island of Møn, standing out against the blue Baltic waters.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge and tunnel system linking Denmark to Sweden, clearly visible on final approach to CPH.
The right side is essential for seeing Møns Klint, one of the region's most beautiful natural features. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the white cliffs and the Øresund Bridge. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to see the complex bridge-and-tunnel transition at the end of the flight.

Stuttgart Basin
Aerial view of the Neckar valley and the Stuttgart city center immediately after takeoff from STR.
Harz Mountains
Views of northern Germany's highest range, including the Brocken peak, visible in the distance to the west.
Hamburg & Elbe
Distances views of the massive industrial port and the winding Elbe river as you move toward the coast.
West Zealand
The rural landscapes and coastal inlets of western Denmark's largest island during the descent.
Copenhagen City Center
If the plane approaches from the south, the left side offers views of the city's historic spires and modern harbor.
Sit on the left if you want a chance to see the Copenhagen city center during the landing pattern. Morning flights provide better lighting for the German countryside, as the sun will be behind you. Keep an eye out for the Great Belt Bridge in the distance to the west as you enter Danish airspace.
