The flight path crosses the Adriatic Sea, then passes over the Alps (visible as a distant ridge on the right side during cruise, roughly 1.5 hours into flight), continues over the Rhône Valley in southeastern France, and approaches Paris from the southeast across the Île-de-France plateau. The Alps appear as a low, distant horizon feature rather than a dominant landmark due to the aircraft's altitude and distance.
