The flight path crosses the English Channel, then continues southeast over northern France (Seine valley visible), then over the Alps and their foothills (Mont Blanc region may be visible on clear days), across the Po Valley in Italy, over the Apennines, and finally down the Adriatic coast. The Alps represent the most dramatic midpoint feature, typically visible around 1 hour into the flight. The transition from temperate European landscape to Mediterranean terrain becomes apparent as you approach the Italian coast.
