Maritime Alps
Immediate views of the snow-capped French-Italian border peaks after takeoff.
Lake Garda
Clear views of Italy's largest lake nestled between the Alpine foothills.
The Dolomites
Iconic limestone formations and sharp peaks of the Italian Alps.
Southern Carpathians
The dramatic Transylvanian Alps as the flight enters Romanian airspace.
Opt for a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps without the glare of the southern sun. In winter, the contrast of snow against the Italian lakes is particularly striking.

French Riviera
Stunning aerial views of Nice, the Promenade des Anglais, and the Mediterranean coastline.

The urban sprawl of Lombardy and the vast agricultural plains of Northern Italy.
Balkan Plains
The expansive Pannonian Basin and the winding path of the Danube River.
Bucharest Approach
Views of the People's Salvation Cathedral and the city's unique urban layout during landing.
The right side is ideal for capturing the initial coastal beauty of Nice. However, be aware of intense direct sunlight during midday flights as you head East-North-East. During landing at OTP, this side typically offers the best view of the Bucharest city center if the approach is from the west.
