Vilnius Old Town
Immediate views of the red-tiled roofs and historic steeples of the Lithuanian capital shortly after takeoff.
Poznań
A clear view of this historic Polish city's layout and the Warta River while cruising over western Poland.
Frankfurt Skyline
On more southerly flight paths, the high-rise financial district of Frankfurt am Main is visible in the distance.
Champagne Vineyards
The rolling green hills and famous vineyards of the Grand Est region as the plane begins its descent into France.
Paris Landmarks
The Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse Tower, and the Sacré-Cœur are often visible on the left side during the final approach pattern.
Choose the left side for the best chance of spotting central Paris. Since the flight travels West, the sun will be on the left side during the midday hours, which can cause glare; morning or evening flights provide better lighting for photography. If the wind is from the west, the plane will circle to the south of the airport, offering a prime view of the city center.

An excellent top-down view of the unique circular terminal 1 and the complex taxiway systems of Charles de Gaulle upon landing.
The right side is ideal for spotting the industrial heart of Germany and northern European landscapes. It is typically the 'shady' side during midday flights heading west, making it better for clear, reflection-free window photos. During the final approach, this side faces the northern suburbs and the Vexin Français Natural Park.
