Carrara Marble Quarries
The brilliant white patches in the Apuan Alps that look like permanent snow but are actually world-famous marble mines.
Mont Blanc Massif
The 'Roof of Europe' and its surrounding glaciers, providing the most dramatic scenery of the entire route.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped alpine lake, often visible along with the jet d'eau in Geneva on very clear days.
Paris Cityscape
A sprawling view of the French capital; look for the distinct circular layout of the Peripherique and the Eiffel Tower.
Severn Estuary
The dramatic tidal waters of the Severn and the iconic bridges connecting England to Wales during the descent.
For the most spectacular views, book a seat on the right side and try to avoid sitting directly over the wing. The highlight of the flight, the Alps, occurs approximately 25-35 minutes after takeoff from Pisa. On the final approach to Bristol, the right side often catches a glimpse of the historic city of Bath and the scenic Cotswolds if the flight path comes from the east.

Ligurian Coastline
Striking views of the Italian Riviera and the rugged cliffs of Cinque Terre immediately following departure.
Maritime Alps
The southern fringe of the Alpine range where high peaks descend toward the Mediterranean Sea.
Loire Valley
The lush green heart of France, characterized by the winding Loire River and historic estates.
English Channel
The busy shipping lanes and white cliffs of the southern English coast during the transit into UK airspace.
Mendip Hills
The rolling limestone hills and ancient landscapes of Somerset visible during the final approach into Bristol.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the Mediterranean coast during the first 15 minutes of flight. Keep an eye out for the Isle of Wight as you cross into the UK, which often appears as a distinct diamond shape on the horizon.
