Dolomite Mountains
The flight's visual peak occurs early with stunning views of the limestone massifs and vertical walls of the Italian Alps.
Vienna & Danube
View the winding blue ribbon of the Danube river as it flows through the Austrian capital and across the Pannonian Basin.
High Tatra Mountains
The highest range of the Carpathians offers dramatic snow-capped peaks along the border of Slovakia and Poland.
Moscow City District
During the southern approach into SVO, the skyscrapers of the Moscow International Business Center can often be seen on the horizon.
Keep your camera ready within the first 20-30 minutes of departure for the best mountain views. In winter, the contrast between the white High Tatras and the dark forests of Eastern Europe is exceptionally photogenic. This side also avoids direct sun during morning departures.
