Istrian Peninsula
Aerial view of the heart-shaped coast of Croatia and the deep blue waters of the Northern Adriatic.
Hohe Tauern Alps
Spectacular views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner and its surrounding glaciers.
Munich & Bavaria
Vistas of the Bavarian capital and the sprawling greenery of southern Germany's rolling hills.
Lower Saxony Plains
A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and wind farms across the northern German lowlands.
Jutland Coastline
The western edge of Denmark meeting the North Sea, often bustling with international shipping traffic.
Sit on the left to avoid direct glare from the eastern sun during morning flights. The Alpine crossing occurs roughly 35-45 minutes after takeoff; keep your camera ready for the contrast between the karst mountains and snow-capped peaks. During winter, look for the frozen lakes of the Salzkammergut region.

Dramatic limestone cliffs and rugged karst topography of the Dinaric Alps right after takeoff.
Vienna & Danube
Distal views of the Austrian capital and the winding blue ribbon of the Danube River flowing east.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost forested mountain range in Germany, often shrouded in mysterious mist.
Lübeck Bay
The beautiful Baltic coastline of Germany, featuring white sand beaches and the port of Travemünde.
Gothenburg Archipelago
An incredible view of the thousands of rocky islands and red wooden cottages during the final descent into Sweden.
The right side is unbeatable for the final 15 minutes of the flight. As you approach Gothenburg, the plane usually banks to provide a perfect view of the archipelago. In summer, the evening flights offer a beautiful golden hour glow over the Swedish granite rocks. Keep an eye out for the Oresund Bridge in the distance if the flight path takes a more eastern route.
