Kornati Islands
A dense cluster of nearly 150 uninhabited islands and islets scattered in the crystal-clear sea.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'island-hopping' view of Croatia. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the winglet against the Adriatic blue. During late afternoon flights, the sun sets over the sea to your right, providing a golden hour glow over the Dalmatian coast.

Stunning views of the Tödi and the rugged peaks of Eastern Switzerland shortly after departure.
Engadin Valley
High-altitude vistas of the St. Moritz region and the deep blue lakes of the Upper Engadin.
Julian Alps
View the limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, the country's highest point.
Split City Center
Depending on the approach, a clear view of the Diocletian's Palace and the bustling port area.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for seeing the urban sprawl of Split and the inland Dinaric mountains during the final approach. Keep an eye out for the thermal winds creating patterns on the mountain lakes of Austria and Slovenia.
