Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Zurich to Omaha. While takeoff offers Alpine scenery, the landing approach provides more dramatic and sustained views of major geographical features—the Missouri River and Omaha's urban landscape—that are visually distinctive and memorable. Left-side seats capture the river valleys and city during descent.

During takeoff from Zurich (ZRH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Alps during the initial climb northwestward from Zurich. The aircraft departs toward the northwest, and the major Alpine peaks lie to the south and southeast of the airport, but the right wing bank during climb provides the best angle toward the Säntis and Appenzell Alps ridgeline. Notable sights include: Säntis (2,502 m), Appenzell Alps, Lake Zurich (Zürichsee), Glarus Alps.

When landing at Eppley Afld (OMA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Missouri River and the Platte River confluence as the aircraft descends toward Eppley Field from the east. The approach typically comes from the northeast, and left-side windows frame the river valleys and the urban grid of Omaha along the Missouri's western bank. Notable sights include: Missouri River, Platte River, Omaha skyline and downtown grid, Council Bluffs (Iowa side).

The flight from Zurich (ZRH) to Eppley Afld (OMA) takes Approximately 9.5 to 10.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the North Atlantic, then enters North American airspace over Newfoundland or the Canadian Maritimes. Over the continent, the aircraft passes over the Great Lakes region (likely visible are Lake Michigan and Lake Huron), then crosses the agricultural heartland of the American Midwest—Iowa and Illinois—with their characteristic grid-pattern farmland, before descending into the Missouri River valley near Omaha. The Great Lakes and the transition from forested eastern terrain to the flat, open plains of the Midwest are the most notable midpoint features.
