Zagreb Skyline
A clear view of the Croatian capital and the Medvednica mountain range immediately after takeoff.
Lower Austrian Alps
Rugged terrain transition as the flight heads north over the eastern reaches of the Alpine chain.
Berlin Area
The flight path often passes near Berlin, offering a sprawling view of the German capital and its surrounding lakes.
Baltic Coastline
Beautiful views of the German and Danish coasts, including the white chalk cliffs of Møn (Møns Klint) in the distance.
Øresund Bridge
The spectacular bridge-tunnel complex connecting Denmark and Sweden, visible during the final banking for landing at CPH.
The right side is essential for the Øresund Bridge view, which is the highlight of the arrival. In the evening, the sun sets on the left, giving the right side a soft, golden glow over the Baltic Sea. Be prepared for some glare in the morning, but the coastal views make it worth it.

Julian Alps
Dramatic limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, visible shortly after departure from Zagreb.
High Tauern Range
The highest mountains in Austria, featuring snow-capped peaks and glaciers in the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Munich Vicinity
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Munich and the Allianz Arena can be spotted in the distance to the west.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this large freshwater lake is a prominent landmark in Southern Germany.
Great Belt Bridge
During the descent over Denmark, you may see the massive suspension bridge connecting the islands of Zealand and Funen.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the best lighting on the Alpine peaks. This side is also excellent for viewing the green landscapes of Central Germany and the transition into the Danish archipelago.
