Venice Historic Center
If departing towards the southwest, you get a perfect view of the Grand Canal, Piazza San Marco, and the unique island structure of the city.
Swiss Alps & Glaciers
A front-row seat to the snow-capped Bernese Alps, with potential views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.
Lake Geneva
View of the vast crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau in Geneva as the plane crosses into French airspace.
Champagne Vineyards
Orderly patterns of the world-famous vineyards in the Reims and Épernay regions during the transition to Northern France.
Sit in front of the wing for unobstructed views of Venice. On clear days, the sunset on the left side during evening flights illuminates the Alpine peaks in a deep orange glow. Look out early as the transition from the Adriatic to the mountains happens very quickly.

The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites offer a rugged landscape shortly after takeoff.
Lake Constance
A view of the 'Bodensee', where the borders of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland converge.
The Vosges Mountains
Rolling green hills and dense forests of eastern France as the flight path levels out over the continent.
Northern French Plains
The industrial and agricultural heartland of the Nord department, showing the transition to the flat landscapes surrounding Lille.
The right side is better for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers a more expansive view of the jagged eastern Alps. During the final approach into Lille, the right side often provides a clearer view of the city center if the wind is from the north.
