Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Pyrenees (visible as a major mountain chain running east-west, typically on the left side during cruise), then follows the Rhône Valley northward. The Massif Central appears as elevated terrain to the left. The Jura Mountains become visible as the aircraft approaches the Rhine Valley from the southwest. Major cities visible during cruise include Lyon (on the left, in the Rhône Valley) and Dijon (further north). The landscape transitions from Mediterranean scrubland to temperate forest and agricultural plains.
