Julian Alps
Spectacular jagged limestone peaks as the flight crosses the border between Italy and Slovenia.
Lake Balaton
Aerial view of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, known for its distinct turquoise-green water.
High Tatras

Kiev Reservoir
The massive 'Kiev Sea' on the Dnieper River becomes visible as the aircraft begins its descent from the north-west.
For morning flights, the left side is shaded from the sun, offering better visibility and photography conditions. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Italian lakes to the Slovenian peaks within the first 30 minutes. In winter, the snow-capped High Tatras are a major highlight during the mid-flight cruise.
