Aegean Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of white-washed Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods stands out as a massive limestone massif.
Dalmatian Coast
Arguably the highlight of the trip, featuring the intricate island chains of Hvar, Brač, and Korčula.
Coastal Cities
Spot the terracotta roofs of historic cities like Split and Zadar along the Balkan shoreline.
Eastern Alps
Experience the transition from the Adriatic to the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss border ranges.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The right side is the 'scenic route' for geography lovers. For the best lighting on the Croatian islands, a morning or midday flight is ideal to avoid shadows. Keep your camera ready about 90 to 120 minutes into the flight for the best coastal views. In winter, the contrast between the blue Adriatic and the snow-covered Dinaric Alps is breathtaking.

Akamas Peninsula
View the rugged western tip of Cyprus and its turquoise lagoons shortly after takeoff.
Ionian Islands
Look down on the lush green islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia as you cross the Ionian Sea.
Salento Peninsula
On clear days, see the 'heel' of Italy's boot stretching into the Adriatic Sea.
Central Alps
Dramatic views of the high peaks around the Gotthard Pass during the descent phase.
Lake Lucerne
The winding, fjord-like arms of Lake Lucerne are often visible just before landing in Zurich.
Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Mediterranean. It offers the best views of the high Swiss peaks like the Titlis during the final 15 minutes of the flight. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Alpine lakes isn't obstructed by the engine.
