Mont Blanc
An unparalleled close-up of Europe's highest peak just minutes after departing Geneva.
The Matterhorn
The distinct, sharp pyramid shape of the Matterhorn is clearly visible in the Pennine Alps.
Gulf of Corinth
A spectacular view of the narrow waterway and the Rio-Antirrio Bridge connecting the Peloponnese.
Peloponnese Coast
The dramatic, jagged coastline of southern Greece and the Saronic Gulf.
Mykonos Chora
The iconic white-washed buildings, Little Venice, and the famous windmills during the final approach.
The right side is essential for the Mont Blanc flyby, which occurs very shortly after takeoff. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing. On the final approach into Mykonos (JMK), the right side typically offers the classic 'postcard' view of the town's harbor and windmills.

Mount Parnassus
The rugged limestone peaks of central Greece, famous in mythology, appearing mid-flight.
Cyclades Panorama
