Zadar Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the numerous islands like Ugljan and PaΕ‘man immediately after takeoff from Zadar.
Julian Alps
Spectacular sightings of Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, and the surrounding jagged limestone crests.
Hohe Tauern
Glacial vistas of the Central Eastern Alps as you cross from Austria into Germany.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this massive lake is often visible on the left during the initial descent phase.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while photographing the Adriatic coast. The transition from the azure sea to the snow-capped Alps happens quickly, so stay alert about 20 minutes into the flight.

Velebit Mountain Range
The rugged, wild limestone peaks of Croatia's largest mountain range visible shortly after departure.
Gorski Kotar
The lush, densely forested 'Green Heart' of Croatia provides a sharp contrast to the rocky coastline.
Grossglockner
Views of Austria's highest mountain and its surrounding peaks in the distance to the northeast.
Munich Skyline
Depending on the landing runway, excellent views of the Allianz Arena and the city's red-roofed center.
The right side is ideal for seeing the dramatic limestone canyons of the Velebit range. During the final approach to Munich, passengers on the right are more likely to see the iconic architecture of the Olympic Park and the Allianz Arena if landing from the east.
