Stromboli & Aeolian Islands
Look for the active smoking cone of Stromboli rising directly from the sea approximately 15-20 minutes into the flight.
Mount Titano (San Marino)
The distinctive three-peaked silhouette of the world's oldest republic visible as you cross the Romagna coast.
Po River Delta
The complex network of lagoons and river branches where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea.
Venetian Lagoon
Stunning aerial views of the salt marshes, the Lido, and the peripheral islands like Burano and Torcello.
Venice Historic Center
If the flight lands on Runway 04, you will get a world-class view of the S-shaped Grand Canal and St. Mark's Square.
The right side is essential for the iconic Venice arrival. Choose a window seat away from the wing for the best photos of Stromboli. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Venetian Lagoon without haze.

Gulf of Castellammare
Dramatic views of the Sicilian coastline and the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea immediately after takeoff.
Island of Ustica
A solitary volcanic island appearing as a dark emerald in the middle of the sea shortly after departure.
Northern Apennines
Rugged mountain ridges stretching across central Italy, often snow-capped during the winter months.
Po Valley Flatlands
A vast geometric patchwork of agricultural fields and irrigation canals spanning Northern Italy.
Mestre and Mainland Venice
The industrial and residential heart of the region as the plane maneuvers for its final approach.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the Sicilian coast. This side is better if the flight is in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun over the Adriatic.
