If you want this view out of your frequent-flier award seat during the summer months, you'll probably need some good fortune and a lot of miles to spend on a premium to secure it.
Popular routes between the U.S. and cities such as London or Paris will fill up during key travel periods. Why should an airline award seats on a flight that will command top money?
London and Paris are well-connected by rail with other airports in places like Brussels and Frankfurt. Shop those alternative airports as well as your ideal flight path.
