1. The Emerald City, Australia
Sydney has to be one of the more breathtaking cities the world has to offer, and there's nothing quite like flying right over the Sydney Opera House.

2. The Forbidden City, China
This location served as the former Chinese Imperial palace and was the residence for the Emperor of China during the winter months, throughout the Ming Dynasty.

3. Marvellous City, Brazil
The Harbour of Rio de Janeiro is a natural wonder of the world, and rightfully so. The mix of mountains, the Christ the Redeemer statue, and the sprawling cityscape is astonishing to fly through.

4. The City of Lights, France
The best part about flying over Paris is that there is no shortage of landmarks to visit. In a matter of minutes, you can fly by the Effiel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, and Versaille.
Closest airport: LFPG

5. Eastern Capital, Japan
If you're looking for a combination of a metropolis and a natural wonder, then flying from Tokyo to Mount Fuji is worth checking out. Frankly, Tokyo is one of the best cities in the world, and flying over it is equally excellent.
