Potsdam Palaces
Aerial views of the Sanssouci gardens and the historic architecture of Potsdam.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Europe is often visible in the distance to the west over the French Alps.
Estérel Massif
The striking red volcanic rock formations meeting the turquoise Mediterranean sea.
French Riviera Coast
Unrivaled views of the Bay of Cannes, the Lérins Islands, and the luxury yachts of Antibes.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Riviera landing.' Most flights descend over the sea and turn north-east; the right side will face the coast, providing a panoramic view of the beaches and the Promenade des Anglais just before touchdown.

Berlin Hinterland
View of the southern Brandenburg lakes and forests shortly after departure.
Central Alps
Dense clusters of snow-capped peaks across Switzerland and the Austrian border.
Lake Maggiore
A stunning glimpse of this deep blue alpine lake spanning the Swiss-Italian border.
Monaco & Menton
As the plane banked towards the sea, you can often spot the high-rises of Monte Carlo to the east.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a more continuous view of the rugged Alpine interior. During the final approach, look forward-left to spot the Italian border coastline.
