Island of Elba
Napoleon's place of exile stands out prominently in the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after departure from Olbia.
Tuscan Coastline
The scenic transition from the blue sea to the green Apennines and the marble-white mountains of Carrara.
Austrian Alps
Stunning views of the jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Hohe Tauern and Northern Limestone ranges.
Bavarian Plateau
A bird's eye view of Munich's outskirts and the geometric green landscapes of Southern Germany.
Elbe River Valley
The meandering Elbe river as it flows through Saxony, often passing near the historic towers of Dresden.
A morning flight is ideal for the right side as the sun lights up the Alpine ridges from the east. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the best shots of the Tuscan Archipelago and the island of Elba.

Costa Smeralda
Crystal clear turquoise waters and rugged coastline of Northeast Sardinia visible immediately after takeoff.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow sea passage between Sardinia and the dramatic white cliffs of Southern Corsica.
Swiss Alps
Panoramic views of the high peaks in central Switzerland, often including the Bernese Oberland massifs.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' marking the intersection of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria from a high altitude.
Leipzig Skyline
A clear view of the city's urban layout and the prominent Völkerschlachtdenkmal monument during descent.
Opt for an afternoon flight to avoid direct southern sun glare. Looking west during sunset provides a dramatic silhouette of the Alpine peaks. The view of Corsica is best enjoyed in the first 20 minutes of flight.
