Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior panoramic experience, combining the rugged fjords of Norway, the highest peaks of the Alps, and the iconic city-view landing at Nice-Côte d'Azur.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🇳🇴

Hardangerfjord

Dramatic views of Norway's second longest fjord and the snowy Hardangervidda plateau shortly after departure.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

A sweeping vista of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks during the mid-flight cruise over Central Europe.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible on the horizon as the flight transitions towards Provence.

🏞️

Lake Geneva

The massive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva visible along the Swiss-French border.

🏖️

Nice Waterfront

A spectacular low-altitude view of the Promenade des Anglais and Old Nice during the final turn for landing.

Choose the left side for the classic approach into Nice. For the best photography of the Alps, book a morning flight to have the sun at your back. During winter, look for the frozen high-altitude lakes near Bergen immediately after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
🌊

North Sea Coast

Views of the thousands of islands and skerries along the southwestern Norwegian coastline near Stavanger.

🏰

Rhine River

The winding path of the historic Rhine river as it flows through the heart of Germany and the Benelux.

🛶

Gorges du Verdon

The deep limestone canyon and its turquoise waters visible during the descent through the French Prealps.

🚤

Cap d'Antibes

The exclusive peninsula with luxury estates and white sandy beaches just west of the airport.

🔴

Estérel Massif

Striking red volcanic rock formations meeting the deep blue Mediterranean Sea near Cannes.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a view of the sun dipping into the Mediterranean. On the descent, watch for the clear distinction between the rugged Alps and the coastal plains. This side offers better views if the aircraft uses Runway 22 for landing due to wind.
