Aerial views of the Market Square and the winding Oder River immediately after departure from WRO.

🏔️

The High Tatras

Sharp, snow-capped peaks visible to the southeast as the flight traverses towards the Czech-Austrian border.

❄️

Austrian Alps

A magnificent crossing over the eastern Alpine ridges, featuring glaciated peaks and deep valleys.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

The beautiful transition from the Italian mainland to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea near Puglia.

🌋

Mount Etna

A spectacular close-up of Europe's most active volcano as the flight path passes the eastern coast of Sicily.

🏰

Valletta Grand Harbour

Iconic views of Malta's historic fortifications, the Three Cities, and the dense limestone architecture of the capital.

On morning flights, the sun will be behind you on this side, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Alps and Sicily. Mount Etna is typically visible approximately 25-30 minutes before landing; keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the Ionian Sea.

Dramatic, jagged limestone formations of the Italian Alps visible to the west during the mid-flight transit.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted in the distance.

🏝️

Aeolian Islands

A cluster of volcanic islands, including the active Stromboli, visible off the northern coast of Sicily.

🏖️

Sicilian Coastline

The rugged western coast of Sicily, featuring steep cliffs and hidden Mediterranean coves.

🏝️

Gozo and Comino

Views of Malta's sister islands and the vibrant Blue Lagoon as the plane prepares for its final turn toward MLA.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Look out for the Aeolian Islands shortly after crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Depending on the wind direction, the right side may offer a better view of Gozo during the initial approach pattern.
