Mount Etna
A close-up view of Europe's most active volcano as you fly over or alongside Sicily.
Strait of Messina
The narrow water passage separating Sicily from the 'toe' of the Italian mainland.
Adriatic Coastline
Panoramic views of the Italian eastern coast, including the Gargano Peninsula.
The Dolomites
The iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the South Tyrol region, often glowing pink at sunset.
Grossglockner
View of Austria's highest peak and the surrounding Hohe Tauern National Park.
Prague Cityscape
If landing on Runway 24, the right side offers a perfect view of Prague Castle and the Vltava River.
The right side is the priority for volcano enthusiasts; sit near the front to avoid wing obstruction for the best view of Etna. On the approach to PRG, keep your camera ready as the plane often circles the city, providing a bird's-eye view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' just before touchdown.

Valletta and Gozo
Aerial views of the Maltese archipelago and the historic Grand Harbour immediately after departure.
Aeolian Islands
Spot the volcanic islands of Lipari and the smoking crater of Stromboli in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Rome and Vatican City
On clear days, the Italian capital and the Tiber River are visible as the flight tracks north.
Italian Lakes
Vistas of Lake Garda or Lake Como nestled against the foothills of the Alps.
Central Alps
Dramatic views of the glaciated peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps.
Bohemian Forest
The dense green canopy of the Šumava National Park as you enter Czech airspace.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is excellent for seeing the western Italian coastline and the sprawling lakes of Northern Italy. During winter, the snow cover on the Central Alps is particularly photogenic from this side.
