Watzmann Massif
Spectacular views of the iconic Berchtesgaden Alps and the Untersberg mountain range upon departure.
Allianz Arena
On clear days, the distinct white cushion-like structure of Munich's famous stadium is visible in the distance to the west.
Leipzig Skyline
The Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Monument to the Battle of the Nations) is visible as a massive stone structure on the city's edge.
Tropical Islands Resort
A massive, silver-domed former airship hangar that now houses an indoor water park, a major landmark south of Berlin.
Berlin TV Tower
The iconic Fernsehturm and the dense urban core of Berlin usually appear during the final approach pattern.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, as the setting sun illuminates the Alps and the Berlin skyline. Keep a sharp eye out for the Tropical Islands hangar—it is one of the world's largest buildings and impossible to miss if you are on the correct side.

Salzburg Fortress

Chiemsee
The largest lake in Bavaria, known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' with its distinctive islands of Herreninsel and Fraueninsel.
Regensburg
The UNESCO World Heritage old town and the Stone Bridge crossing the Danube River are visible mid-flight.
Spreewald Biosphere
A unique network of small river channels and lush wetlands as you enter the Brandenburg region.
Potsdam Palaces
During the descent, look for the sprawling gardens and palaces of Sanssouci on the western edge of the capital.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Bavarian landscape. If the flight departs to the North, the left side gets an excellent view of the city center of Salzburg immediately.
