Barcelona Skyline
Aerial view of the Sagrada Familia, the Eixample grid, and the iconic Barceloneta beach immediately after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped mountain range dividing Spain and France during the early cruise phase.
Côte d'Azur
Glittering vistas of Marseille, Cannes, Nice, and the Principality of Monaco as the plane tracks the French coastline.
Cinque Terre
The five colorful fishing villages of Liguria perched on steep cliffs, visible during the descent towards Pisa.
Apuan Alps
Striking white peaks near Carrara, where the world-famous marble is quarried, appearing like snow even in summer.
Genoa Harbor
A view of Italy's largest seaport with its sprawling docks and historic lighthouse during the transition to the Italian coast.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while the sun illuminates the European coastline. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the dramatic transition from the Ligurian Sea to the Tuscan mountains. On clear days, the contrast between the turquoise sea and the marble mountains is breathtaking.

Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Balearic Sea, often dotted with cargo ships and luxury cruise liners.
Corsica & Elba
On clear days, the rugged northern tip of Corsica and the silhouette of Napoleon's island of exile, Elba, appear on the horizon.
Port of Livorno
A detailed view of the massive industrial port and canals of Livorno just before the final approach into Pisa.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Depending on the landing pattern (specifically Runway 04), you may catch a glimpse of the Piazza dei Miracoli just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. If the wind dictates a landing from the south, the right side provides the most direct view of the Leaning Tower and the Cathedral complex during the final banking turn. Watch for the Tuscan Archipelago islands rising like gems from the water.
