Southern Carpathians
Breathtaking views of the Făgăraș and Parâng mountains shortly after takeoff from OTP.
Iron Gates Gorge
The spectacular limestone gorge where the Danube River divides the Carpathians and the Balkans.
Belgrade
Distance views of the Serbian capital situated at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A spectacular aerial view of hundreds of white-shored islands along the Croatian coast.
Umbrian Valleys
The lush green heart of Italy, featuring rolling hills and the Tiber river valley upon approach.
The right side is ideal for photography, particularly during the mid-flight segment over the Adriatic where the contrast between the islands and the water is sharpest. For the best view of the Southern Carpathians, ensure you are looking out within the first 20 minutes of flight. On the approach to Perugia, look for Lake Trasimeno to the northwest.

Wallachian Plain
Expansive agricultural patterns stretching south of Bucharest toward the Danube.
Prokletije Mountains
Jagged, dramatic peaks along the border of Montenegro and Albania.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula, visible as a massive turquoise basin.
Adriatic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water during the crossing from the Balkans to Italy.
Central Apennines
Rugged Italian mountain ranges visible during the final descent into the Umbria region.
On afternoon flights, this side faces the sun, which can cause significant glare and heat. It is best for seeing the interior mountain ranges of the Balkans and the dramatic southern Adriatic coastline. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to stay cool unless you are actively spotting landmarks.
