Milan & Monza
Aerial view of the Milanese metropolis and the famous Monza Formula 1 circuit shortly after departure.
Lake Garda
A stunning perspective of Italy's largest lake and its narrow northern fjord-like tip.
The Dolomites
Dramatic UNESCO World Heritage limestone peaks, including the Marmolada and the Sella Group.
Grossglockner
Austria's highest peak and the Pasterze Glacier visible in the High Tauern National Park.
The Vienna Woods
The lush green 'lungs' of Vienna during the final descent into the city.
Book a window seat on the left (A/B) for the best alpine scenery. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the High Tauern are exceptionally vibrant. Look for the distinctive 'Tre Cime di Lavaredo' about 30 minutes into the flight.

Po Valley
The expansive, fertile plains of Northern Italy with its intricate network of rivers and farms.
Adriatic Sea & Venice
On very clear days, the Venetian Lagoon and the northern Adriatic coast are visible to the south.
Julian Alps
The rugged mountains along the Italian-Slovenian border, often featuring deep green valleys.
Styrian Hills
The rolling hills of southern Austria, famous for vineyards and pumpkin seed oil production.

The right side is better for afternoon flights if you want to avoid direct sunlight, though you'll miss the highest peaks. Keep an eye out for the city of Graz during the mid-flight segment. During the landing approach into Vienna, you may see the wind turbines of the Burgenland region and the Danube river curving toward the city.
