MXP → SVO

The Pennine Alps

Shortly after takeoff from MXP, look out for the iconic pyramids of the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa rising sharply to the north.

Munich & Bavaria

As the flight levels out over Germany, you can often spot the sprawl of Munich and the distinct blue patches of the Ammersee and Starnberger See.

Prague & Vltava River

The flight path typically passes near the Czech capital, offering views of the winding Vltava River and the city's historic red-roofed center.

Warsaw Skyline

Crossing into Poland, the Vistula River marks the approach to Warsaw, where the city's modern skyscrapers stand out against the flat plains.

Belarusian Taiga

Vast stretches of dense, dark green coniferous forests and marshlands dominate the landscape as you cross the border into Eastern Europe.

Milan & Lake Como

During the initial climb, the right side provides a panoramic view of the Milanese metropolis and the southern legs of the Y-shaped Lake Como.

The Dolomites

While further away than the Pennine Alps, the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites are visible to the east.

Vienna & The Danube

Depending on the specific airway used, the bright blue ribbon of the Danube River and the outskirts of Vienna may be visible below.

Krakow & Tatra Mountains

Views of Southern Poland's historic soul, with the high, snow-capped Tatra Mountains visible on the distant southern horizon.

Moscow City District

On the final approach to SVO, if the wind is from the west, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the 'Moscow City' skyscraper cluster.
