Velebit Mountains
The massive karst mountain range of Croatia rising sharply from the Adriatic coast immediately after departure.
Julian Alps
Views of Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, and the surrounding glacial valleys.
Hohe Tauern
The high-altitude heart of the Austrian Alps featuring the Grossglockner and extensive glacial fields.
Salzburg Hinterland
The rolling foothills of the Alps and the picturesque lakes of the Salzkammergut region.
Swabian Jura
The plateau landscape of Southern Germany with its unique limestone formations and deep valleys.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers, offering a front-row seat to the Austrian Alps mid-flight. For early morning departures, the sun will illuminate the mountain faces perfectly. Look out for the snow-capped peaks roughly 25 to 35 minutes into the flight. If the flight path passes near Munich, you can often spot the Allianz Arena and city sprawl to the north.

Kornati Archipelago
A stunning cluster of over 100 islands and reefs scattered in the turquoise Adriatic waters visible during initial climb.
Istrian Peninsula
Panoramic views of the rugged Croatian coastline and the deep blue Kvarner Gulf as the plane heads northwest.
Dolomite Ridges
Jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible in the distance on clear days westward.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as you descend into the Baden-Baden region.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the Dalmatian coast. On approach to FKB, the left side often provides a better view of the Rhine River valley if landing from the north.
