🏰

Split & Trogir

Immediate views of the historic UNESCO-listed cities and the rugged Dalmatian coastline upon takeoff.

🏝️

Kornati Archipelago

A dense cluster of stark, beautiful islands dotting the Croatian coast as you gain altitude.

🛶

Venice Lagoon

The unique, recognizable shape of Venice and its surrounding islands in the northern Adriatic.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, often showcasing the Tre Cime di Lavaredo area.

🚤

Lake Constance

The massive body of water bordering Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, visible as you cross the Alps.

🍾

Champagne Region

The distinctive landscape of the Marne Valley and the city of Reims before the final approach into Lille.

Sit on the right for the best coastal views at departure. About 40 minutes into the flight, look down for Venice's historic center. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Dolomites and the Alps with perfect clarity.

Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea as the flight heads northwest away from the Croatian coast.
