Western Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Piedmontese Alps immediately after departure from Cuneo.
The Dolomites
The distinctive pale, jagged limestone peaks of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites visible while cruising over Northern Italy.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake framed by steep mountain walls to the north.
Southern Carpathians
The wild, forested peaks of the Transylvanian Alps as the flight enters Romanian airspace.
Prahova Valley
The historic mountain pass leading toward Bucharest, known for its dense forests and alpine resorts.
Sit on the left for the best mountain photography. In winter, the snow-covered Alps are dazzling. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, which is ideal for avoiding glare on the window while photographing the peaks. Look for the Olt River winding through the mountains as you enter Romania.

Po Valley Cities
A bird's-eye view of the dense urban grid of Milan and the industrial heart of Lombardy.
Venetian Lagoon
The unmistakable silhouette of Venice and its surrounding islands as you cross the Adriatic coast.
Istrian Peninsula
The rugged, indented coastline of Croatia and the deep blue of the Northern Adriatic Sea.
The Danube River
The massive river serving as a natural border between Serbia and Romania, visible during the mid-flight segment.
Wallachian Plain
The vast, golden agricultural expanses of Southern Romania during the final approach into Otopeni.
The right side is excellent for coastal views of the Adriatic. On afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare as the sun will be to the south. Keep an eye out for the Iron Gates gorge where the Danube cuts through the mountains if the flight path tracks slightly further south.
