Prague & Vltava River
Excellent views of the Czech capital's historic bridges and spires about 45 minutes into the flight.
Swiss Alpine Giants
The best angle for the Eiger, Jungfrau, and potentially a distant view of Mont Blanc depending on the path.
Southern French Alps
Observe the transition from high snowy peaks to the rugged, dry limestone canyons of Provence.
Nice Cityscape
On final approach, you get a close-up view of the Promenade des Anglais and the Old Town.
Antibes & Cannes
Look for the Cap d'Antibes and the Lérins Islands as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Sitting on the right avoids direct southern sun glare during the midday flight southward. It offers the most consistent mountain views throughout the cruise phase. During winter, look for the sharp contrast between the snowy Alps and the green coastal strip as you cross into the Var region.

Dramatic views of the highest range in the Carpathians shortly after leaving Polish airspace.
Vienna & Eastern Alps
An overview of the Austrian capital and the beginning of the limestone mountain chains.
Monaco & Menton
During the common approach over the Mediterranean, you can spot the principality and its luxury harbor.
Ligurian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the plane turns back toward the French coast.
The left side is premier for spotting the Monaco coastline if the aircraft performs the 'Saleya' visual approach from the sea. For the best photography of the Mediterranean blue, use a polarizing filter and fly during the late afternoon when the sun is behind the aircraft.
