Mount Etna
Immediately after takeoff, Sicily's iconic and often smoking volcano is usually visible to the northeast.
Apennines & Tuscany
The rugged spine of Italy and the picturesque rolling hills of the Chianti region pass beneath.
Central Swiss Alps
Unrivaled views of the Bernese Oberland peaks including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
Ardennes Forest
The dense, undulating green landscape of southeastern Belgium provides a scenic backdrop for the final approach.
Luxembourg Border
Views of the winding valleys and historic fortifications near the border between Luxembourg and Belgium.
The right side is unbeatable for the initial climb out of Comiso to see Etna. For photography, use a fast shutter speed when crossing the Alps to capture the sharp details of the ridges. During winter, the snow coverage on the Ardennes makes for a magical approach into CRL.

Tyrrhenian Coastline

Tuscan Archipelago
On clear days, see the islands of Elba and Montecristo floating in the turquoise Mediterranean waters.
Western Alps & Mont Blanc
Spectacular views of Europe's highest peak and the surrounding snow-capped French and Swiss massifs.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake spanning the border between Switzerland and France is visible near the descent.
Charleroi Landscape
Aerial perspective of the industrial heritage and winding rivers of the Walloon region of Belgium.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding for spotting the glaciated peaks of the French Alps and the expansive waters of Lake Geneva. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Tuscan coast.
