Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides are scenic, the right side offers a superior view of the Swedish interior lakes, a more direct look at the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites, and the stunning blue expanse of Lake Garda during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Vรคttern

View the deep blue waters of Sweden's second-largest lake as you cruise over the southern provinces.

๐Ÿบ

Bavarian Countryside

The picturesque rolling hills, dense forests, and organized farmland of Southern Germany.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Dolomites

Spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, often glowing pink or orange in the late afternoon.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is usually clearly visible as the flight begins its final descent into the Po Valley.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

San Luca Sanctuary

The hilltop basilica overlooking Bologna is often visible during the final banking maneuvers for landing.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is the definitive choice for mountain lovers, as it provides the most direct views of the Alpine peaks and Lake Garda. As you approach Bologna, the right side often looks down upon the red-roofed city and the rolling Apennine foothills.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช

Venetian Lagoon

Distant views of the Adriatic coast and the distinctive shape of Venice before the final turn.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. It provides a better angle for seeing the Stockholm archipelago immediately after takeoff if departing to the south. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Adriatic coastline which appears as a thin blue strip on the horizon.
