Venetian Lagoon
Immediate views of the historic center of Venice, the Lido, and the intricate network of islands if taking off towards the north or circling.
Dolomites & Tyrolean Alps
Dramatic jagged limestone peaks of the Italian and Austrian Alps visible shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Vienna and Danube
The Austrian capital and the winding Danube River are visible to the north during the mid-flight transition.
Warsaw Skyline
Clear views of the Polish capital's skyscrapers and the Vistula River as the flight path crosses Central Poland.
Belarusian Highlands
Dense forests and rolling green landscapes characteristic of Eastern Europe as you approach the Russian border.
Sit in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal for the Alps as the sun illuminates the southern faces. During winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-capped peaks against the dark valleys.

Carpathian Mountains
The distant, rugged ridges of the High Tatras along the border of Slovakia and Poland.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Hungary and Southern Poland stretching toward the horizon.
Moscow City District
On the final approach into Sheremetyevo from the south, the 'Moscow City' cluster of skyscrapers is often visible in the distance.
Volga-Moskva Canal
The intricate canal systems and reservoirs surrounding the northern Moscow region during descent.
The right side is excellent for evening flights as you'll see the sunset over the horizon. When approaching Moscow (SVO), this side often offers a better view of the metropolitan sprawl and the central business district if air traffic patterns route the plane from the south.
