Cote d'Azur
Breathtaking views of the French coastline and the Estérel Massif shortly after takeoff.
Corsican Peaks
Dramatic views of Monte Cinto and the jagged granite mountains of central Corsica.
Maddalena Archipelago
A cluster of turquoise islands and emerald waters between Corsica and Sardinia.
Mount Etna
On clear days, the smoking silhouette of Europe's most active volcano is visible to the east while passing Sicily.
Blue Lagoon
The intense cyan waters of Comino and the sister island of Gozo appear during the descent into Malta.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. During the descent, keep your camera ready as the plane usually banks over Gozo, providing the best views of the Maltese archipelago's smaller islands.

Valletta Grand Harbour

The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights, as you will witness the sun dipping into the Mediterranean. It is also the best side for seeing the immediate Marseille coastline right after takeoff if the plane departs towards the south.
