Tyrolean Alps
Direct views over the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Tyrol and the Italian Dolomites.
Dalmatian Archipelago
An incredible sequence of hundreds of Croatian islands set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Old Town Dubrovnik
A potential bird's-eye view of the historic walled city and the island of Lokrum.
The Cyclades
Scattered white-washed islands like Mykonos, Naxos, and potentially Santorini visible mid-Aegean.
Rhodes Northern Cape
A stunning view of Rhodes City and the Elli beach during the final turn toward the runway.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. For the best photography of the Adriatic islands, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a polarizing filter for your camera. Keep a close watch roughly 2 hours into the flight for the transition from the Alps to the Mediterranean coast.
