Dalmatian Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the jagged coastline immediately after takeoff from Split.
Velebit Range
Aerial perspective of Croatia's largest mountain range, featuring dramatic limestone peaks and deep karst valleys.
Eastern Alps
As you cross into Austria, enjoy the distant but impressive views of the snow-capped Styrian Alps.
Vienna City View
On many approach patterns into VIE, this side provides a stunning view of the Danube River and the city center.
Vienna Woods
The lush green biosphere reserve surrounding the city is highly visible during the final descent phase.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the A-side. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, illuminating the coastline and mountains perfectly. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean coast to the Alpine foothills. If the flight lands toward the north, the left side is unmatched for seeing the Stephansdom and the city core.

Split Cityscape
A clear view of the historic city of Split and the ancient Diocletian's Palace right after departure.
Zagreb Environs

Lake Balaton
On clear days, the massive freshwater lake in Hungary is often visible to the far East during cruise altitude.
Burgenland Vineyards
Scenic views of the rolling hills and famous wine-growing regions of Eastern Austria during the descent.
Lake Neusiedl
The large, shallow steppe lake on the border of Austria and Hungary is a prominent landmark on the right side.
Select the F-side for a great view of Split's harbor during the initial climb. This side is particularly interesting for spotting the vast Pannonian Basin. If the flight approaches Vienna from the east, you will have an excellent view of the wind farms and Lake Neusiedl. Morning flights provide great light for this side of the aircraft.
