Sporades Islands
A beautiful cluster of Greek islands known for their lush greenery and clear waters.
Dinaric Alps
Extensive mountain range through the Balkans with sharp limestone peaks.
Venetian Lagoon
On more northerly routes, the historic canals and islands of Venice may be visible.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps, often visible in its snow-capped glory as you approach the French border.
Rhône-Alpes Landscape
The transition from high mountains to the rolling vineyards and valleys of eastern France.
This is the preferred side for the 'grand finale' approach into Lyon. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Alps and Mont Blanc in brilliant detail. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains during the descent.
