The flight path crosses the Mediterranean and southern Europe. Notable features include the Alps (visible as a distant ridge on the left/north side during cruise), the Rhône Valley in southeastern France, and the English Channel approaching the UK. The Alps typically appear as a faint, jagged line on the northern horizon during the cruise phase, roughly 1.5 hours into the flight. The Channel crossing offers brief views of the French coast and English coastline, though these are often at higher altitude where detail is minimal.
