Search flights from FLR to VIE
Tuscan Apennines
Immediately after takeoff, witness the rugged, forested ridges that separate Tuscany from Emilia-Romagna.
The Dolomites
A world-class view of the UNESCO-listed limestone massifs, including the Marmolada and Sella group.
Hohe Tauern
Snow-capped peaks of the Central Eastern Alps, featuring some of Austria's highest glaciers.
Vienna Woods
The lush, rolling hills of the Wienerwald that signal the final descent into the Vienna basin.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Afternoon flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the southern faces of the Alps. In winter, the contrast of the snow-covered peaks against the deep valleys is particularly striking.

Florence Historic Center
Clear views of the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio if the aircraft performs a standard climbing turn after departure.
Po Valley
The expansive, geometric agricultural heartland of Italy, dotted with historic towns like Ferrara.
Adriatic Horizon
On clear days, you can see the distant shimmer of the Gulf of Venice and the coastline near Trieste.
Vienna Cityscape
A sweeping view of the Danube River and the city's skyline when landing from the southeast.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. If the wind requires a northern landing at VIE, this side offers the best views of the Danube river's winding path through the city. Watch for the distinctive shape of the Lake Neusiedl near the Austrian-Hungarian border.
