Pindus Mountains
The massive, rugged mountain range forming the spine of mainland Greece.
Dubrovnik
The iconic walled 'Pearl of the Adriatic' is often visible as the flight tracks along the Balkan coast.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of hundreds of Croatian islands including Hvar, Brač, and Korčula.
High Tauern
Dramatic views of the highest peaks in the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner massif.
Hunsrück Forest
Dense, rolling green forests and deep valleys characteristic of the approach into Frankfurt-Hahn.
The right side is essential for seeing the Croatian islands, which are the geographic highlight of this route. For afternoon flights, be aware of potential glare as the sun moves west. Watch for the city of Frankfurt in the distance during the final approach phase if the weather is clear.

Peloponnese Peninsula
Aerial views of the rugged southern Greek coastline and the historic Mani region shortly after departure.
Ionian Islands
Clear sightings of Zakynthos and Kefalonia's turquoise bays as the plane heads northwest.
Gargano Peninsula
The distinct 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting into the Adriatic Sea is often visible mid-flight.
Central Alps
Views of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian peaks as the flight traverses the mountainous core of Europe.
Rhine River
The winding silver ribbon of the Rhine, flanked by vineyards, appears during the descent into the Rhineland-Palatinate.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. Look out for the Corinth Canal and the Rio-Antirrio bridge early in the flight. In winter, the snow-covered Jura mountains are a highlight before entering German airspace.
