Vienna Woods
Lush green canopy and rolling hills on the immediate western outskirts of Vienna.
Northern Alps
Distant but majestic views of snow-capped Austrian and Swiss peaks to the south.
Lake Constance
The sparkling blue waters of the Bodensee where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in Southwest Germany.
The Ardennes
Rugged terrain and dense forests of southern Belgium, famous for their historical significance.
Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the Alps without the glare of the sun. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lake Constance and the transition from the German highlands into the Belgian Ardennes.

The Rhine River
A high-altitude crossing of Europe's most important commercial waterway near the German border.
Cologne/Bonn Region
Industrial landscapes and urban clusters of the Rhine-Ruhr area visible in the distance.

The right side is better for evening flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct silver ribbon of the Rhine River; if the flight path stays north, you may even spot the spires of Cologne Cathedral in clear weather.
