The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Eastern Alps as you enter Italian airspace.

The Apennines
The rugged 'spine' of the Italian peninsula featuring rolling ridges and hidden mountain villages.
Rome Interior
Views of the ancient Roman countryside and the suburban landscape during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing clearer views and better photography conditions. The Dolomites typically appear roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes into the flight. During winter, the contrast between the snow-capped Alps and the Mediterranean landscape is particularly striking.
