Swiss Alps & Lake Geneva
Unrivaled views of the crescent-shaped Lake Geneva and the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland shortly after takeoff.
The Matterhorn
The iconic pyramid-shaped peak is often visible in the distance to the south as the flight crosses into Italian airspace.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted as you cross the Italian coast.
Istrian Peninsula
The heart-shaped Croatian peninsula marks the entry point to the stunning Adriatic coastline.
Kornati Archipelago
A dense cluster of over 100 islands and reefs with dramatic karst topography visible during the descent.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic entry into Croatia. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the white limestone of the Dalmatian islands. The final 20 minutes of the flight are the most scenic as the aircraft follows the coast toward Split.

Vis and Hvar Islands
