Search flights from MLA to EXT
Mount Etna
Europe's tallest active volcano is frequently visible to the north shortly after leaving Malta.
Corsican Mountains
The dramatic, jagged granite peaks that run through the center of the island of Corsica.
French Riviera
Stunning views of the Côte d'Azur, including the cities of Nice, Cannes, and Antibes.
Loire Valley
The Garden of France with its winding rivers and sprawling historic estates.
Jurassic Coast

Sit on the right for the iconic view of Mount Etna early in the flight.

This side is best in the late afternoon for golden hour lighting over the English coast before landing at EXT.

Maltese Archipelago
Excellent views of Gozo, Comino, and the Blue Lagoon immediately after takeoff from MLA.
Sardinian Coastline
Rugged limestone cliffs and hidden coves along the eastern shores of the Italian island.
Massif Central
The ancient, weathered volcanic peaks and deep river gorges of south-central France.
Brittany Coast
The jagged, rocky coastline of northwest France as you head toward the English Channel.
Choose this side for morning departures to have the sun behind you. It offers the best view of the Maltese archipelago during takeoff and the deep green landscapes of the Massif Central in France. Avoid seats directly over the wing to maintain a clear downward view of the French countryside.
