Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Central Alps and a direct line of sight to the Julian Alps, including Slovenia's highest peak, Mount Triglav, during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🍷

Rhine Valley

The winding Rhine river featuring steep vineyards and ancient castle ruins perched on cliffs.

🌊

Lake Constance

A massive glacial lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, visible on clear days.

🏔️

The Zugspitze

Germany's highest mountain peak standing prominently within the Wetterstein range.

⛰️

Julian Alps & Triglav

The breathtaking limestone walls of the Julian Alps and the iconic three-headed peak of Mount Triglav.

For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine ridges. This side is particularly spectacular in late afternoon when the setting sun illuminates the snow-capped Slovenian peaks in shades of orange and pink.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏭

Ruhr Metropolis

The dense industrial and urban landscape of Western Germany, including Essen and Dortmund.

🏢

Frankfurt Skyline

Views of Germany's 'Mainhattan' financial district and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs.

🌲

Bavarian Forest

Vast stretches of dark green spruce and fir trees along the German-Czech border.

🏔️

Kamnik–Savinja Alps

The dramatic, jagged limestone peaks marking the northeastern entrance to the Ljubljana basin.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. During the final approach into Ljubljana, look out for the historic city of Kranj and the scenic Sava River valley as the plane turns for landing.
