Salzburg Fortress
Hohensalzburg Fortress and the historic old town visible immediately after a southern departure.
Zillertal Alps
Dramatic high-altitude terrain and deep valleys along the Austrian-Italian border.
Italian Riviera
The colorful coastline between Genoa and La Spezia where the Apennines meet the Ligurian Sea.
Ligurian Sea
Deep blue waters dotted with ferries and yachts traveling between mainland Europe and Corsica.
Calvi Citadel
The iconic 13th-century Genoese fortress and the crescent bay during the final approach.
Request a window seat on the right for the most iconic landing experience in the Mediterranean. As the plane descends into Calvi, you will have a front-row seat to the Citadel and the turquoise waters of the bay. For afternoon flights, this side provides better lighting for photography of the Italian coastline and the Corsican mountains.
Book Hotels in CalviHohe Tauern National Park
Glaciated peaks of the central Austrian Alps, including views toward the Grossglockner massif.
The Dolomites
The distinct pale, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible shortly after crossing the border.
Lake Garda
An expansive view of Italy's largest lake and the surrounding olive groves on its eastern shore.
Po Valley
The flat, fertile plains of Northern Italy characterized by a dense grid of farmland and small towns.
Cap Corse
The northern 'finger' of Corsica appearing as a rugged mountain range rising directly from the sea.
The left side is ideal for catching the morning sun illuminating the Alpine peaks. Watch for the jagged silhouettes of the Dolomites about 20 minutes into the flight. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you might catch a glimpse of the Tuscan coast and Elba Island before the final descent into Corsica.
