Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible in its full majesty shortly after takeoff from Geneva.
French Riviera
Glittering views of the Côte d'Azur including Nice and the surrounding coastal cliffs as you leave mainland Europe.
Corsica & Sardinia
Aerial views of the rugged eastern coastlines and turquoise bays of these Mediterranean islands.
Gulf of Hammamet
The deep blue waters of the gulf contrast sharply with the white sandy beaches of the Tunisian coast on descent.
Medina of Sousse
The UNESCO-listed historical center and the Ribat of Sousse are often clearly visible during the approach to Monastir.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps without the sun's glare. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing for the most expansive view of the Mont Blanc massif. During the descent into Monastir, keep your camera ready for the transition from the Mediterranean blue to the golden Tunisian sands.

Lake Geneva
Excellent views of the Petit Lac and the city of Geneva's 'Jet d'Eau' depending on the takeoff direction.
Vercors Massif
Dramatic limestone plateaus and deep gorges of the French Prealps as the flight heads south.
Marseille & Calanques
The busy port of Marseille and the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park along the coast.
Western Sardinia
The wild and less populated western side of Sardinia with its unique geological formations.
Tunisian Cap Bon
The peninsula of Cap Bon and the offshore islands of Zembra and Zembretta can be spotted on the right before landing.
The right side is perfect for late afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset over the Mediterranean. It also offers a better view of the Rhone Valley if the flight path tracks more westerly. Watch for the salt pans near Monastir just before touchdown.
