Costa del Azahar
Immediate views of the Spanish coastline and the city of Valencia following takeoff.
Swiss Alps & Mont Blanc
Spectacular panoramas of the Western Alps, often including glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif in the distance.
Lake Constance
A clear view of the massive 'Bodensee' which forms the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Swabian Jura
Rolling hills and historic landscapes of Southern Germany during the initial descent phase.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you on this side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps. The best Alpine views occur roughly 70-80 minutes into the flight.
