The takeoff scenery over the Adriatic and Dalmatian Islands is more visually dramatic and geographically distinctive than the landing approach over relatively flat agricultural plains. The Adriatic coastline and island archipelago offer more striking visual variety.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Alps (visible as a snow-capped ridge if conditions permit, roughly 1.5 hours into flight), then descends over the Jura Mountains and into the Rhône Valley before reaching the Île-de-France plains. The Po Valley in northern Italy may be visible briefly on the left during the initial northwestward climb from Split.
