Rome Cityscape
Depending on the departure runway, a chance to spot the Tiber River and historic landmarks of the Eternal City.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake, appearing like a deep blue fjord tucked into the base of the mountains.
The Dolomites
The dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, known for their unique pale color.
Jutland Peninsula
A clear view of the Danish landscape, including coastal inlets and rural farmland.
Hardangerfjord
Breathtaking views of deep blue water surrounded by snow-capped mountains during the final approach to Bergen.
The right side is non-negotiable for the final 20 minutes of flight. As the plane descends into Bergen, you will fly over the dramatic Norwegian coastline. Sit forward of or well behind the wing to ensure your view of the fjords isn't obstructed. On clear winter days, the snow-covered Dolomites are a major highlight.

Frisian Islands
