VIE → PEK

High Tatras

View the jagged peaks of the Tatra Mountains on the border of Slovakia and Poland shortly after departure.

Ural Mountains

The natural boundary between Europe and Asia, visible as a long chain of weathered peaks.

Siberian Taiga

Breathtaking views of the world's largest forest, a vast expanse of coniferous trees and winding rivers.

Lake Baikal

The highlight of the route; if the path is northerly, you will see the world's deepest lake, often frozen in winter.

Northern Lights

On winter night flights, this north-facing side provides the best opportunity to spot the Aurora Borealis.

Vienna and Danube

Excellent views of the Austrian capital and the Danube river immediately after takeoff from VIE.

Gobi Desert

Massive orange and yellow sand dunes and rocky plateaus as you cross from Mongolia into China.

Altai Mountains

Rugged, snow-capped peaks where Russia, China, and Mongolia meet.

Great Wall of China

On the descent into PEK from the north, you can often spot sections of the wall snaking across the mountains.

Continental Sunrise

Since the flight travels East, the right side enjoys a spectacular sunrise over the Asian landmass.
