Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Dolomites in the Alps and the breathtaking Stockholm archipelago during the final approach into Sweden.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Elba Island

Clear views of Napoleon's island of exile nestled in the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The iconic, jagged limestone spires of the Italian Alps, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

🏙️

Munich Cityscape

Aerial views of the Bavarian capital, including the distinct Allianz Arena stadium.

🌊

Rügen Island

Germany's largest island featuring white chalk cliffs and sandy Baltic beaches.

🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of forested islands during the descent into Arlanda.

The right side is essential for the approach into Stockholm; sit well clear of the wing to see the archipelago. For morning flights, be prepared for some sun glare while over the Alps. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Italian-Austrian border for the most dramatic mountain photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Monte Cinto Massif

Rugged granite peaks and deep valleys of the Corsican interior shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Panoramic views of high-altitude glaciers and peaks like the Eiger and Jungfrau.

💧

Lake Constance

The vast alpine lake where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Expansive green canopies and rolling hills of central Germany's primary forest range.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the snowy Alpine peaks approximately 40 minutes into the flight. During winter, the snow-covered forests of central Germany are particularly striking.
