Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a superior vantage point for the High Alps and the stunning Mediterranean coastline of France, offering dramatic contrasts between sea and snow-capped peaks.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Balearic Sea

Expansive views of the Mediterranean with the Balearic Islands often visible on the horizon.

⚓

French Riviera

The glittering coastline of Marseille and the surrounding Calanques National Park.

🏔️

The High Alps

Spectacular panoramas of the Western Alps, often including glimpses of Mont Blanc.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the tri-border area of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🏰

Swabian Jura

The limestone plateau of Southern Germany dotted with historic towns and castles.

The right side is unbeatable for Alpine views. For the best lighting on the mountains, morning flights are ideal. Approximately 20 minutes before landing, look for the distinctive turquoise waters of Lake Constance. Ensure your window is clean as the Alpine reflection can be very bright.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Costa Azahar

The beautiful 'Orange Blossom Coast' of Spain stretching north from Valencia.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

The rugged transition between the Iberian Peninsula and mainland Europe.

🍇

Rhône Valley

Aerial views of the historic French wine regions and the winding Rhône River.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald in Southwest Germany.

🏙️

Stuttgart Region

The urban sprawl and industrial heartland of Baden-Württemberg.

The left side is preferable on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. Keep an eye out for the Massif Central in France during the mid-flight segment. During the descent into Nuremberg, you may see the Franconian Heights if the approach is from the west.
