Stunning views of the Oran coastline and the rugged Tell Atlas foothills during takeoff.

Ostia Antica
Remarkable ruins of the ancient Roman port city visible during the low-altitude approach.

The winding 'Fiumara Grande' as it meets the Tyrrhenian Sea right before touchdown.
Rome Cityscape
Distant glimpses of the Vatican City and historic center depending on the landing pattern.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Roma' experience. For the best lighting on the Italian landscape, opt for a morning flight. If the plane lands from the south, you will get a perfect view of the archaeological park of Ostia Antica just moments before landing.

Mediterranean Expanse
Deep blue vistas of the open Balearic Sea shortly after leaving the Algerian coast.

Distant views of Mallorca and Menorca to the north depending on the specific airway used.
Sardinian West Coast
Rugged cliffs and secluded emerald bays along the western edge of Sardinia.
Civitavecchia Port
The bustling cruise ship terminal and ancient harbor walls north of the arrival path.
