The High Alps
Prime views of Europe's tallest peaks, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc and the Swiss giants.
English Channel Coast
Views of the French or Southern English coastline depending on the specific transatlantic corridor.
Greenland Fjords
Deeply carved glacial valleys and massive white ice caps that dominate the northern horizon.
Labrador Wilderness
A vast expanse of untouched boreal forest, lakes, and rivers as you enter Canadian airspace.
Montreal Skyline
Excellent views of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers on the final approach into YUL.
The right side is ideal for photography because it faces north, providing soft, even lighting without direct sun glare. Watch the flight map carefully about 4-5 hours into the flight for the crossing of Greenland; this is the scenic highlight of the route.

Venice Lagoon
Breathtaking views of the historic center and the network of islands immediately after takeoff.
The Dolomites
The jagged, UNESCO-listed limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible during the initial climb.
Atlantic Sun Glint
Golden reflections on the ocean surface as the sun tracks south of the flight path.
South Greenland
Views of the southern ice sheet and icebergs drifting in the Labrador Sea near Cape Farewell.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
The rugged coastline of Newfoundland and the expansive mouth of the St. Lawrence River.
On morning departures, the left side will be in direct sunlight for most of the flight, which can cause glare and heat. Close the window shade during the Atlantic crossing to keep the cabin cool, but open it as you reach the Canadian coast for the approach into Montreal.
