Venice and Lagoon
An unparalleled aerial view of the historic island city and its intricate lagoon system shortly after departure.
Dalmatian Coast
The deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea meeting the jagged, island-heavy coastline of Croatia.
Belgrade
The Serbian capital situated at the scenic confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
The Iron Gates
The massive gorge on the Danube River that forms the natural border between Serbia and Romania.
Oltenia Plains
Expansive views of the golden agricultural heartland of southern Romania during the final landing phase.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for this route. Approximately 15-20 minutes after takeoff from BGY, keep your camera ready for Venice. If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the Adriatic and the Balkan mountains. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Croatian islands isn't obstructed.

Orobic Alps
Dramatic views of the Italian alpine foothills immediately north of Bergamo after takeoff.
Julian Alps
The snow-capped limestone peaks of Slovenia visible as you cross the border from Italy.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, fertile green plains stretching across southern Hungary and northern Serbia.
Southern Carpathians
The majestic 'Transylvanian Alps' appearing on the northern horizon during the descent into Romania.
Craiova Cityscape
A clear view of the city's unique urban layout and industrial architecture during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you prefer mountain vistas. This side is best during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun when looking towards the Alps and the Carpathian range. Look for the transition from the rugged mountains of Slovenia to the flat Pannonian Basin mid-flight.
