Dniester River
The winding loops and green canyons of the Dniester River as you exit Ukrainian airspace.
Dinaric Alps
The stunning karst topography and limestone peaks of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
Gargano Peninsula
The distinct 'spur' of Italy, featuring the Foresta Umbra and the white cliffs of Vieste.
Mount Vesuvius
An unparalleled view of the massive crater and volcanic slopes during the descent into Naples.
Naples Bay
The sweeping arc of the Gulf of Naples, including views of the city's historic center and harbor.
The right side is essential for the landing sequence. As the plane descends into NAP, it typically banks over the Tyrrhenian Sea, providing a panoramic view of Vesuvius. Sunset flights are particularly beautiful on this side as the sun dips over the Mediterranean.

Southern Carpathians
Dramatic views of the rugged Transylvanian Alps as the flight crosses into Romanian airspace.
Sofia & Balkan Range
The Bulgarian capital and the surrounding Stara Planina mountains are often visible to the south.
Montenegrin Coast
The sparkling turquoise waters and jagged limestone cliffs of the Adriatic coastline near Budva.
Italian Apennines
The central mountain spine of Italy, featuring snow-capped peaks during winter and spring months.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare while viewing the Carpathians. This side is also excellent for spotting the 'heel' of the Italian boot if the flight takes a more southerly vector across the Adriatic.
