Costa de Azahar
Aerial views of the Spanish 'Orange Blossom Coast' immediately after takeoff from Valencia.
Swiss High Alps
Distances views of the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland and the Mont Blanc massif to the north.
European Lowlands
The vast, patchwork agricultural landscapes of Southern Poland and Western Ukraine.
Upper Silesia
The industrial heartland of Central Europe visible as the flight traverses near the Polish border.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distant peaks of the Swiss Alps during the middle third of the flight, especially on clear winter days when the snow makes them pop against the horizon.
