Majella Massif
Dramatic views of the snow-capped or rocky peaks of the Abruzzo region in central Italy.
Pescara Coastline
The long, sandy beaches and urban sprawl of Italy's eastern Adriatic shore.
Brač and Hvar
Stunning vistas of the elongated islands of central Dalmatia with their white stone and green pines.
Split City & Riva
A bird's-eye view of the historic city center, the port, and the Marjan Hill forest park just before landing.
The right side is the 'money shot' side for this route. Request a window seat away from the wing to see the city of Split during the approach. In the summer, sunset flights offer a golden glow over the Croatian islands that is world-class.

Gran Sasso Peaks
View the rugged limestone massifs of the highest peaks in the Apennines shortly after takeoff.
Central Adriatic
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight leaves the Italian coastline behind.
Kornati Archipelago
Hundreds of small, uninhabited islands and islets scattered like pearls in the sea to the north.
Trogir Old Town
The UNESCO-listed medieval island town is often visible directly beneath the wing on the final descent.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the plane. This side is also excellent for spotting the dense clusters of islands in the northern Dalmatian region before turning into the Kaštela Bay.
