The Pyrenees
Shortly after takeoff, view the rugged peaks and deep valleys forming the natural border between Spain and France.
French & Swiss Alps
Glacial massifs including distant views of Mont Blanc are visible as the flight crosses towards Northern Italy.
The Dolomites
The distinctive jagged limestone formations of the Italian Alps offer a dramatic landscape mid-flight.
Southern Carpathians
As you enter Romanian airspace, the 'Transylvanian Alps' provide a forested, mountainous backdrop before the descent.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the Pyrenees immediately after departure from ZAZ. For morning flights, the lighting on the northern slopes of the Alps is excellent for photography. Ensure you are alert roughly 40 minutes before landing for the Carpathian range.

Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft tracks along the southern coast of France.
French Riviera
Glimpses of the glamorous Côte d'Azur and the coastal cities of Marseille and Nice.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear southern tracks, the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted in the Adriatic.
Wallachian Plain
The vast, fertile agricultural heartland of Romania stretching toward the Danube River in the south.
The right side is ideal for those who prefer coastal and maritime scenery. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Mediterranean coast without the glare of the sun. Watch for the Danube River snaking along the Bulgarian border during the final 20 minutes of the flight.
