Central Alps
Fly over the heart of the snow-capped Austrian or Swiss Alps, offering some of Europe's best mountain views.

Euboea Island
The long, mountainous island of Euboea is visible as you cross the mainland toward the Aegean.
Bodrum Peninsula
Detailed views of the Turkish coastline and the luxury resorts of Bodrum during the descent into Kos.
On morning flights, the left side is shaded from the direct southern sun, providing better conditions for photography of the Alps. To avoid the wing blocking the view of the Balkan coastline, select a seat in the front third of the cabin.
