Eastern Carpathians
Deep green forests and the volcanic ranges of the Moldavian and Transylvanian landscapes shortly after takeoff.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe, known as the 'Hungarian Sea', often appears as a turquoise strip to the north.
Venice and the Lagoon
The highlight of the trip: a clear view of the historical island city of Venice and its surrounding lagoon islands.
The Italian Alps
In clear weather, the jagged peaks of the Dolomites and the main Alpine chain form a majestic horizon to the north.
Po Valley
The geometric patchwork of the fertile Emilia-Romagna region, displaying intense agricultural patterns before landing.
The right side is the 'strategic choice' for this route. It provides indirect lighting for most of the journey, making photography easier. The descent into BLQ often follows a path that passes just south of Venice; being on the right side provides a direct view of the city's canals and the Lido. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best mountain views.

Southern Carpathians
Aerial views of the rugged Făgăraș and Retezat mountain ranges as the flight exits Romanian airspace.
Belgrade and the Danube
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is often visible if the route tracks across central Serbia.
Istrian Peninsula
The heart-shaped peninsula of Croatia with its indented coastline and crystal blue Adriatic waters.
San Marino
On the final descent, look for the distinctive peaks of Mount Titano where the microstate of San Marino is situated.
The left side is excellent for seeing the coastal geography of the Adriatic. To avoid the harsh southern sun during morning flights, choose this side only for late afternoon or evening departures. Keep an eye out for the coastal city of Rimini just before the turn toward Bologna.
