A sweeping view of the Italian industrial heartland and the winding Po River.

The turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian shoreline.

Rugged volcanic plateaus and deep valleys throughout Georgia and Armenia.

Kopet Dag Mountains
The dramatic mountain wall that forms the natural border between Turkmenistan and Iran.
The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts and urban photography. You will get a fantastic view of the Baku skyline and the oil fields of the Caspian. As you approach Ashgabat, look out for the white marble architecture of the city framed against the Kopet Dag mountains. On evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the Caspian.

The Dolomite Alps
Spectacular views of the jagged Italian peaks shortly after departure from Malpensa.
Transylvanian Alps
Aerial perspective of the rugged Carpathian mountain range spanning across Romania.
Northern Black Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses from Europe towards the Caucasus.
Greater Caucasus Range
Glimpses of Europe's highest peaks, including the snow-capped Mount Elbrus if the path stays north.
Karakum Desert
The endless golden dunes of the 'Black Sands' desert that cover most of Turkmenistan.
Sit on the left if you want a chance to spot Mount Elbrus, the highest point in Europe. This side is also better for viewing the vastness of the Central Asian desert during the final descent. For the best views of the Alps, ensure a morning departure to keep the sun behind the aircraft.
