Venice Historic Center
Clear views of St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal, and the unique fish-shaped layout of the main islands.
Brenta Dolomites
The dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Western Dolomites as the plane climbs over Northern Italy.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A sprawling view of the western part of the lake, including Mainau Island and the city of Konstanz.
The Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies appearing on the horizon as the flight prepares for its descent into Stuttgart.
Sit on the left for the iconic 'Venice from above' shot during departure; this is highly dependent on wind direction but usually favors this side. In the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Alps and the Swabian Jura.

Lido and Northern Adriatic
The long sandbars of the Venetian Lagoon and the coastal resorts stretching toward Trieste.
Tyrolean Alps
Stunning views of the Austrian Alps, including the high peaks surrounding the Inn Valley near Innsbruck.
The Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain is often visible on the horizon when crossing the border from Austria into Bavaria.
Swabian Jura (Alb)
Rolling limestone hills and ancient castles like Hohenzollern appearing as you approach the Stuttgart region.
The right side is ideal for spotting the highest peaks of the German Alps. If flying in the morning, the light hits the southern faces of the mountains perfectly. Watch for the city of Ulm and its famous cathedral spire on the descent if the flight path tracks slightly east.
