During takeoff from Cote D Azur (NCE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Nice typically departs eastward over the sea on runway 04R/04L, then turns north. The left side gives you the Côte d'Azur coastline sweeping west toward Cannes and Antibes, plus the city of Nice itself laid out below. As the aircraft banks north, the left side transitions to the Maritime Alps rising sharply inland. Notable sights include: Nice city and Baie des Anges, Antibes peninsula and Cap d'Antibes, Cannes coastline to the west, Maritime Alps foothills.

When landing at Munich (MUC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Munich typically lands on runway 26L or 26R approaching from the east, meaning the aircraft tracks westward. The left side faces south and gives a clear view of the Bavarian Alps including the Zugspitze massif and the Alpine foothills, plus the Bavarian lakes including the Ammersee and Starnberger See glinting south of the city. Notable sights include: Zugspitze and Wetterstein massif, Starnberger See, Ammersee, Munich city center and Marienplatz area.

The flight crosses the French Alps north of the Maritime Alps, passing near or over the Écrins massif and the Belledonne range, then crosses into Switzerland over the Swiss Plateau or the northern Swiss Alps depending on routing, before descending over the Bavarian foothills. The Rhine valley and Lake Constance (Bodensee) are often visible on the left side during the descent phase into Bavaria.
