Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the island of Elba and the surrounding Tyrrhenian Sea as you track along the Italian coast.
Italian Riviera
Aerial perspective of the colorful coastline near La Spezia and the Gulf of Genoa.
Swiss Alps Peaks
A front-row seat to the glaciers and high-altitude lakes of the Bernese Oberland and Valais regions.
The Ardennes

Brussels Suburbs

The right side is essential for the best 'departure' scenery from Sicily. To see the Alps in their best light, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. Keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain crossings.

Mont Blanc Massif
The highest peaks of the Western Alps, including the snow-capped Mont Blanc, dominate the horizon.
Jura Mountains
