Tagus Estuary
Stunning views of the Vasco da Gama Bridge and the sprawling estuary immediately after departing Lisbon.
The Alps
Unrivaled views of the snow-capped Italian and French Alps as the flight crosses Northern Italy.
Lake Garda
The deep blue, violin-shaped waters of Italy's largest lake are clearly visible on a clear day.
Julian Alps
Rugged limestone peaks crossing through Slovenia, offering a dramatic relief against the landscape.
Southern Carpathians
Dense green forests and winding valleys as the plane begins its descent into the Romanian heartland.
Book a seat in front of the wing for the clearest view of the mountain peaks. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun stays to the south, illuminating the northern mountain faces without causing glare on your window.

Mediterranean Coast
Beautiful vistas of the Spanish 'Costa' and the shimmering Balearic Sea during the first half of the flight.
Barcelona Cityscape
A distant but distinct view of the Sagrada Familia and the grid-patterned Eixample district.
Côte d'Azur
The glamorous French Riviera coastline with its turquoise waters and yacht-filled harbors.
Dalmatian Coast

The Iron Gates
The dramatic gorge where the Danube River cuts through the mountains on the border of Serbia and Romania.
The right side is perfect for sunset lovers on evening flights, as the sun sets behind the aircraft's tail over the Mediterranean. Use a polarizing filter for photos to cut through the haze often found over the Adriatic Sea.
