The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible to the north during the initial climb out of Venice.
Italian Lakes
Spectacular views of Lake Garda and Lake Como nestled at the base of the mountains.
Mont Blanc
The 'Roof of Europe' is frequently visible to the north, showcasing its massive glaciers and permanent snow cap.
Lake Geneva
The vast, crescent-shaped expanse of Lac Léman on the border of France and Switzerland.
Nantes Skyline
Views of the Erdre river and the central city districts of Nantes during the final descent into NTE airport.
This is the premier side for mountain lovers. You will pass the highest sections of the Alps to your north, providing incredible scale. On clear winter days, the snow coverage is breathtaking.

Historic Venice
Unmatched views of the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Basilica, and the intricate lagoon islands immediately after takeoff.
Po Valley
The geometric beauty of Italian agricultural plains and the distant skyline of Milan to the south.
Ecrins National Park
The rugged, glacier-carved peaks of the southern French Alps and the Barre des Écrins.
Massif Central
A unique view of the Chaîne des Puys, a chain of extinct volcanoes including the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Loire Châteaux
The southern banks of the Loire River, featuring historical estates and the city of Angers as you approach Nantes.
Choose the left side for the best chance to see the city of Venice itself upon departure. If the flight path takes a southern track across France, you will have the best angle on the extinct volcanoes of the Massif Central. Afternoon flights on this side will face the sun, so keep your window shade ready.
