Valletta and Grand Harbour
A breathtaking view of Malta's fortified capital and its historic natural harbors as the plane climbs.
Mount Etna
Europe's most active volcano is often visible in the distance as you fly past eastern Sicily.
Mount Vesuvius
The unmistakable profile of the volcano overlooking the Bay of Naples and the ruins of Pompeii.
Rome and the Vatican
On clear days, the sprawl of the Eternal City and the dome of St. Peter's Basilica are visible.
Turin Cityscape
The Po River and the iconic Mole Antonelliana spire as the aircraft aligns with the runway at TRN.
The right side is the 'volcano side'—essential for seeing Etna and Vesuvius. For the best experience, choose a flight departing in the morning to have the sun behind you. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully capture the transition from the Mediterranean coast to the urban sprawl of Rome and Turin.

Gozo and Comino
Aerial views of Malta's sister islands and the turquoise Blue Lagoon shortly after departure.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean with the silhouettes of the Aeolian Islands.
Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for its rugged coastline and Napoleon's exile.
The Italian Riviera
The dramatic curve of the Ligurian coast including the port of Genoa and coastal cliffs.
The Western Alps
Stunning views of the snow-capped Cottian Alps and the pyramid-shaped Monviso peak during descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Maltese islands immediately after takeoff. If flying during the afternoon, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography of the Ligurian coast and the Alps. Keep an eye out for Corsica in the far distance over the sea.
