Ε ar Mountains
Dramatic snowy peaks of the border range between North Macedonia and Kosovo visible right after departure.
Bay of Kotor
The striking fjord-like winding bay of Montenegro is often visible as you reach the coast.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A spectacular view of the hundreds of islands and limestone cliffs along the Croatian coast.
Venice Lagoon
On clear days, the distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen in the distance.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake appears as a deep blue expanse as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Orobic Alps
The foothills and snow-capped peaks of the Italian Alps provide a dramatic backdrop for the landing at BGY.
This is the definitive side for this route. Request a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Dalmatian Islands and Lake Garda isn't obstructed. In winter, the 'Accursed Mountains' of the Balkans look particularly majestic with heavy snow cover. Afternoon flights offer the best light for photography of the Italian lakes and Alpine foothills.

Mount Vodno
A quick view of the mountain overlooking Skopje and the Millennium Cross shortly after takeoff.
Southern Adriatic
Expansive views of the deep blue sea as the flight crosses from the Balkans toward the Italian peninsula.
Po Valley Plains
The neatly gridded agricultural heartland of Northern Italy visible during the descent into Bergamo.
Opt for an early morning flight to avoid direct sunlight and glare, which can be intense on this side. While less scenic than the right, it offers a calmer view of the Italian countryside and the distant Apennine Mountains during the final phase of flight.
