Dalmatian Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff from SPU, view the crystal clear waters and islands like Braฤ and ล olta.
Julian Alps
Breathtaking views of Mount Triglav and the rugged peaks of Slovenia as the flight heads north.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large lake is visible as you cross the Austrian-German border.
Middle Rhine Valley
On the final approach to Cologne, look for the winding Rhine River and its historic hilltop castles.
Book an 'A' seat for the best coastal views. During afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade ready, but the sunset over the Rhine during evening arrivals is spectacular. The takeoff from Split often involves a turn that provides a panoramic view of the ancient city and Diocletian's Palace.

Velebit Mountain Range
The largest mountain range in Croatia, featuring dramatic limestone karst topography.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Home to the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, visible in the distance to the east.
Munich Skyline
On clear days, the Bavarian capital and the iconic Allianz Arena can be spotted mid-flight.
Spessart Forest
Dense, rolling green hills of central Germany provide a lush landscape during the descent phase.
An 'F' seat is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the 'High Alps' interior rather than the foothills. Watch for the transition from the rugged Mediterranean scrubland to the dense, dark green forests of Germany. If the flight path takes a more eastern route, you may see the Frankfurt skyline in the distance.
