The flight path crosses the North Atlantic, passing north of Iceland and over the Norwegian Sea. Over Greenland's eastern coast (if visible during daylight), passengers may see the Greenland Ice Sheet's edge. The route then crosses over the North Sea and enters European airspace over the UK or North Sea, with the Scottish Highlands and Scandinavian coastlines potentially visible during daylight hours. The final approach into Munich crosses the German plains and Bavarian landscape. Midpoint views are limited by darkness on typical overnight transatlantic flights, but daytime departures or arrivals would reveal the Atlantic coastlines of Scotland/Norway and the North Sea.
