Venetian Lagoon
Aerial views of Venice's historic center, the Grand Canal, and the surrounding islands like Murano.
Central Alps
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped peaks separating Italy from Austria and Switzerland.
Lake Constance
A massive turquoise lake where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Upper Middle Rhine
Scenic views of the winding Rhine River, dotted with historic castles and steep vineyards.
Düsseldorf Skyline
Views of the Rhine Tower and the city's Media Harbour as the plane aligns for landing.
To see Venice, sit on the left for a likely bank over the lagoon. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the Alpine textures and the Rhine's curves without glare. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for the best photographic angles of the mountains.
