Massif Central
The ancient volcanic terrain and plateaus of central France provide a unique geological landscape.

Lake Balaton

Northern Carpathians

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps. The left side is particularly advantageous on morning flights as the sun remains to the south, reducing glare and preventing the cabin from becoming too hot. Look for the Alps roughly 2 to 2.5 hours into the flight.
