Search flights from TPS to FKB
Mount Erice
A stunning look at the medieval town of Erice perched 750 meters above the Trapani coastline.
Elba Island
Excellent views of the largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago, known for its jagged coastline.
Monte Rosa Massif
Dramatic close-ups of the second-highest peak in the Alps and the surrounding glaciers.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible just before the descent.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen forests and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald as you approach FKB.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-day flights provide the most overhead lighting. Watch for the change in terrain from the blue Mediterranean to the white Alpine peaks, and finally the deep greens of the Black Forest. Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the Alpine glaciers.

Aerial views of Favignana and Levanzo's turquoise waters shortly after departure from Trapani.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the flight heads north toward mainland Europe.
Western Swiss Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Valais region and distant glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif.
Lake Geneva
The western edge of the crescent-shaped lake is often visible during the transition into German airspace.
Rhine Valley
Green valley landscapes and industrial architecture during the final descent into the Baden-Baden region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding during evening flights for watching the sunset over the Mediterranean and the western ridges of the Alps. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Egadi archipelago.
