Vienna & Danube
Aerial views of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube River shortly after departure.
Rax-Schneeberg Group
The first major limestone massifs of the Alps visible as the flight heads south from Vienna.
Julian Alps
Rugged peaks on the border between Austria and Slovenia, offering dramatic shadows in the morning.
Venetian Lagoon
A spectacular bird's-eye view of Venice's islands, canals, and the Lido beach strip.
Adriatic Coast
The blue expanse of the northern Adriatic Sea meets the Italian coastline near Grado and Jesolo.
For the best visibility of Venice, choose a seat behind the wing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Alps and the lagoon perfectly. During winter, look for the stark contrast between the snow-covered mountains and the green Italian plains.
