Adriatic Coastline
Continuous views of the crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of the Puglia and Abruzzo regions.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, showcasing the Foresta Umbra and dramatic coastal cliffs.
San Marino
The tiny microstate of San Marino perched atop Mount Titano, visible near the Rimini coastline.
The Alps
Magnificent views of the snow-capped Monte Rosa massif during the descent into the Varese region.
Lake Maggiore
On the standard approach to Malpensa, you get a close-up view of the southern tip of this iconic pre-Alpine lake.
The right side is essential for the 'Alpine reveal' during landing. Book an afternoon flight to see the sunset reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. During the descent, look for the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore if the pilot takes a northern approach path.

Bird's-eye view of the rugged mountain spine of Italy, featuring deep valleys and limestone peaks.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines, often retaining snow well into the late spring months.
Po Valley Plains
The transition from the mountains to the vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy.
Milan Skyline
A distant view of the Unicredit Tower and CityLife skyscrapers as the plane aligns for its final descent.
Emilia-Romagna Farmland
Intricate patterns of fields and rural estates between Bologna and Piacenza.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the Apennine peaks perfectly. Choose a seat forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Gran Sasso massif during the mid-flight segment.
