Home Counties
Rolling green landscapes of Hertfordshire and the northern outskirts of London shortly after departure.
Central Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss peaks roughly 90 to 110 minutes after takeoff.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian coastline.
Greek Mainland
Rugged mountainous terrain of western Greece and views of the Ionian Sea islands.
Northern Israel
Views of the Haifa coastline, Mount Carmel, and the Galilee region during the initial descent phase.
For morning flights, the left side is ideal as it avoids direct glare from the southern sun, making it easier to photograph the Alps. During the winter months, look for the 'snow line' as you cross into Central Europe. As you approach Tel Aviv, the left side often captures the lush green hills of the north before the urban sprawl begins.
