The High Alps
Spectacular views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe, often passing near Mont Blanc or the Matterhorn.
Italian Apennines
The scenic 'spine' of Italy, featuring rolling hills and historic hilltop towns.
Corfu Old Town
A bird's-eye view of the UNESCO World Heritage Venetian architecture and the Old Fortress.
Mouse Island
The iconic Vlacherna Monastery and Pontikonisi island visible just seconds before touchdown.
Request a window seat away from the wing for the best views of the Alps. The landing at Corfu is one of Europe's most scenic; most flights approach from the south, meaning the right side gets the best view of the island's lagoons and landmarks during the final seconds of flight.
