English Channel Crossing
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Calais shortly after departure.
Central Swiss Alps
A breathtaking sequence of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight transits toward Italy.
Venice and the Lagoon
On a clear day, the distinctive S-shape of the Grand Canal and the surrounding islands are visible to the south.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The stunning contrast of white limestone islands against the deep blue of the Croatian coastline.
Ceraunian Mountains
The dramatic Albanian mountain range that runs right down to the Ionian Sea just north of Corfu.
For the best photography, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. As you begin your final descent, watch for the Butrint National Park just across the water in Albania.

Mouse Island
The famous Pontikonisi island and the Vlacherna Monastery are visible seconds before touchdown on Runway 34.
