City of Florence

Sit on the right for the most iconic landmarks. The highlight is the descent over Tuscany; the right side typically faces inland, offering views of Florence's red-tiled roofs. For evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the Mediterranean as you approach the Italian coast.

The 'spine of Greece' offers dramatic limestone peaks and deep gorges during the initial climb.
Gargano Peninsula
The distinctive 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting into the Adriatic Sea is often visible mid-flight.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines can be seen in the distance as the aircraft crosses the Italian peninsula.
