Berlin Metropolitan Area
Excellent views of the sprawling Berlin-Brandenburg region and the numerous lakes surrounding the German capital.
The Ruhr Valley
A massive urban and industrial sprawl including Dortmund and Essen, showcasing Europe's heavy industry heartland.
Antwerp Port Area
On the descent into Brussels, you can often see the massive cranes and shipping containers of the Port of Antwerp to the north.
Brussels Atomium
During the final approach into BRU, the right side frequently offers a clear view of the iconic Atomium and the city center.
The right side is ideal for westbound afternoon flights as the sun remains on the left, preventing glare and providing better lighting for photography. For the best chance to see the Brussels skyline, choose a seat toward the front or middle to avoid wing obstruction during the bank into the airport.
