Menorca
Look east shortly after takeoff to see the smaller, greener Balearic neighbor in the Mediterranean.
The Dolomites
The distinct, jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites are visible as the flight crosses into Alpine territory.
Grossglockner
A chance to spot Austria's highest peak and its surrounding glaciers within the Hohe Tauern range.
Zeller See
The picturesque turquoise lake near Zell am See is often visible nestled deep within the mountain valleys.
Hohensalzburg Fortress
One of the largest medieval castles in Europe, typically visible on the right during the final descent into Salzburg.
The right side is the prime choice for mountain enthusiasts. For the best lighting on the Alpine peaks, afternoon flights are ideal as the sun moves toward the west. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight, as the approach into SZG is world-renowned for its proximity to historic landmarks.

Gulf of Lion
The transition from the deep blue Mediterranean to the southern coast of France and the Rhone delta.

Lake Constance

The left side is preferable for morning flights to minimize solar glare. It provides a great overview of the flight's transition from the Balearic Sea to the heart of the European continent. Ensure you look out early for the Mallorca coastline before the plane turns north.
