Flight Path

Flight path overview

The flight path crosses the Rocky Mountains (visible during early climb), then traverses the Great Plains and Atlantic coast. Over the Atlantic, you'll pass south of Greenland and Iceland. Approaching Europe, the flight crosses the British Isles and English Channel, then continues southeast over France and the Alps before descending into Italy. The Alps are the most dramatic midpoint feature, visible as a snow-capped ridge if flying during daylight hours and clear conditions.
