Search flights from SZG to PMI
Hohe Tauern
Immediate views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.
Swiss Massif
Glaciated peaks and the high Alps of Switzerland as you track southwest toward France.
French Riviera
Views of the rugged coastline near Nice, Marseille, and the Rhône Delta.
Serra de Tramuntana
Mallorca's spectacular northern mountain range visible during the initial descent phase.
The right side is essential for high-altitude Alpine photography. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the rugged Mallorcan cliffs and the sea. Seasonal snow cover in the Alps (October to May) makes the first half of this flight particularly stunning.
Book Hotels in Palma de MallorcaThe Dolomites
Dramatic limestone formations and jagged peaks of the Italian Alps shortly after takeoff.
Lake Garda
The deep blue expanse of Italy's largest lake as the flight crosses the Po Valley.
Corsica & Sardinia
Distant silhouettes of the Mediterranean islands visible across the turquoise sea.
Palma Cathedral
If the aircraft approaches PMI from the south, the iconic Gothic cathedral is visible right before landing.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is also superior for spotting the Italian lakes and the Balearic coastline if the flight path tracks further east. Watch for the glistening Mediterranean transition after clearing the French/Italian border.
