Distant Alps

Choose the right side for the most diverse geography. For afternoon flights, this side remains in the shade, providing perfect conditions for photography without glare. Watch closely about 60-80 minutes into the flight for the Croatian archipelago. During the descent into VLC, the right side usually provides a better view of the Spanish coastline and the Albufera Natural Park depending on the landing direction.

Danube River
Aerial views of the massive river forming the natural border between Romania and Serbia.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of the Balkan Peninsula stretching across Bosnia and Montenegro.
Central Italy
Views of the Italian countryside and potentially the suburbs of Rome as you cross the peninsula.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast stretches of deep blue Mediterranean waters between Italy and the Spanish coast.
Balearic Sea

The left side is subject to intense southern sunlight for the duration of this west-bound flight; keep your window shade partially down to avoid glare. It is best for seeing the vastness of the Mediterranean, but landmarks are more distant. In the winter months, the low sun angle can make photography difficult from this side during mid-day flights.
