Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'spine' of Italy, featuring deep limestone gorges and high mountain villages.
The High Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps, often passing near the Mont Blanc massif.
Lake Geneva
The distinctive crescent shape of Lake Geneva and the surrounding Jura mountains are often visible.
Parisian Basin
The vast, organized agricultural patterns and urban sprawl of the Greater Paris region as you head toward the coast.
South Downs
During the descent into Gatwick, enjoy the rolling green hills and historic estates of the Sussex countryside.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. You will get the best angle of the Alps approximately 90-120 minutes into the flight. For the most dramatic lighting, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the mountains. Ensure your window is clean, as the high-altitude Alpine views are the highlight of this route.

Ionian Coastline
Stunning views of the Zakynthos cliffs and the deep blue waters of the Ionian Sea immediately after departure.
Tyrrhenian Sea & Vesuvius
On clear days, see the Italian western coastline and the silhouette of Mount Vesuvius near Naples.
Massif Central
The ancient, rolling volcanic plateaus of south-central France provide a rugged green landscape.
English Channel
A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the French coast near Dieppe.
Sit on the left if you prefer coastal views and want to avoid the direct afternoon sun on flights heading North-West. It is the best side for viewing the initial ascent over the turquoise waters of the shipwreck island. For photography, use a polarizing filter to cut through the haze over the Mediterranean.
