Search flights from MLA to BLL
Mount Etna
The most dramatic landmark on the route, this active volcano dominates the Sicilian horizon shortly after departure.
Strait of Messina
The narrow channel separating Sicily from the Italian mainland, visible as the flight turns north.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the jagged limestone formations of the Italian and Austrian Alps.
Lake Constance
A massive blue expanse where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and misty peaks.
Jutland Peninsula
The flat, patchwork green fields and coastal inlets of Denmark as you approach Billund.
The right side is the clear winner for the first 30 minutes to see Mount Etna; ask for a seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view down the crater. During winter, the Alpine crossing is particularly stunning with full snow cover. Ensure your flight is scheduled for daytime to appreciate the dramatic change in terrain from the Mediterranean to the Nordic plains.
Book Hotels in Billund
Gozo and Comino
Clear views of Malta's smaller islands and the Blue Lagoon immediately after takeoff.
Tuscan Coast
The rugged shoreline of central Italy and islands like Elba are visible on clear days.
Swiss Alps
Distal views of high-altitude glaciers and snow-capped peaks in western Switzerland.
Rhine River
The iconic waterway snaking through the German countryside and industrial landscapes.
Frankfurt Skyline
A chance to see the skyscrapers of Germany's financial capital during the descent toward the north.
Opt for the left side if flying during the late afternoon to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers a great perspective on the Mediterranean coastline and the dense forest regions of western Germany. Watch for the distinctive shape of Elba island while passing the Italian coast.
