One of the most Amazing flights I’ve done is Paris (CDG) (LFPG/CDG) to Port Louis in Mauritius (FIMP/MRU). The route is operated by an Air Mauritius Airbus A350 as flight MK15 and MK17.

There’s so many.
Amsterdam - Cape Town in the KLM 777,
Any flight from Dubai to Western Europe,
Any flight from Dubai to Kathmandu or the Far East,
Los Angeles - Bogota,
New Delhi - Osaka
I also recommend any flight within Africa. It’s a huge continent.

Pretty much anything flying over the ocean a majority of the time is not good

Even though a good part of it is over the ocean, London to Santiago is a beautiful life. I can’t think of any long-haul flights to go into this airport, but the prettiest approach I’ve seen was flying into Opico Ecuador

Any flight to/from Anchorage. There are many cargo routes to China and nearby countries.

One of the best passenger routes is Anchorage to Reykjavík, Iceland.

I would recommend any flights originate from or to Switzerland.

For a caribbean route, KMIA (Miami) to TNCM (Princess Juliana airport, Sint Maarten) has some great scenes of light blue water and some small islands around, I fly it quite frequently, and enjoy it every time, oh and also KSFO to KDEN (or KDFW), has great scenery that everyone enjoys ;)

Darwin to Los Angeles
Flying over Tonga and Fiji at 40,000 is amazing.

Some good destinations/regions that are at the top of my head:

  • Switzerland/Austria/Southern Germany (Alps Region)

  • Brisbane-Sydney Coast Australia (Great Barrier Reef)

  • Miami-Caribbean Islands (Caribbean Region)

  • Kenya/Tanzania/Mozambique Coast (Mt. Kilimanjaro)

  • Cape Town, South Africa

  • Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia-Beijing,China Corridor (Mongolian Dessert, Yan Mountains Region)

  • Quito,Ecuador-Ushuaia,Argentina Coastline (Andes Mountains)

  • Auckland-Queenstown Corridor (Southern Alps Region)

  • Anchorage,Alaska-Alberqerque,NM (Sierra Nevadas Region)

  • Vancouver,BC-San Diego,CA (Historic US Route 1 Coastline)

  • Kailua Kona-Lihue, Hawaii Corridor (Hawaiian Islands)

  • Sopparo-Naha, Japan Coastline (Japanese Coastline, Mt. Fuji, includes Tokyo)

Hope this helps, and enjoy the sightseeing! 😀
