Tyrolean Alps
Spectacular views of the rugged peaks and glaciers of the high Alps as you cross from Germany into Italy.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Thousands of white-stone islands and turquoise waters along the coast of Croatia.
Prokletije Mountains
Also known as the Accursed Mountains, these sharp limestone peaks mark the border of Montenegro and Albania.
Cologne Cityscape
Early views of the Rhine river loops and the sprawling Cologne-Bonn metropolitan area.
Epirus Coastline
The wild, mountainous coast of mainland Greece appearing just before the final descent into Corfu.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Balkan mountains. Avoid rows 12-20 to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of the Croatian islands. For a 10:00 AM departure, the sun will be high enough to light up the turquoise Adriatic shallows perfectly by the time you reach the Mediterranean.

Black Forest
Deep green canopy and rolling hills of the southwestern German highlands.
Swiss Alps
Distant views of the iconic snow-capped peaks of Switzerland and the Italian lake district.
Venetian Lagoon
The unique shapes of Venice and the surrounding islands visible across the Adriatic.
Open Adriatic
Expansive views of the deep blue sea with visible wake trails from ferries and cargo ships.
Corfu Old Town
If landing on Runway 34, you get an incredible view of the Venetian fortresses and the Liston.
The right side is essential if the aircraft approaches Corfu from the South (Runway 34), as it offers the iconic view of the Mouse Island and the Old Fortress. During the mid-flight over the Alps, look for the glint of Lake Garda in the distance. Wear polarized sunglasses to cut the glare from the sea during afternoon flights.
