Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an immediate and spectacular view of the Italian Alpine lakes, followed by a crossing of the high Eastern Alps and a scenic route along the Rhine Valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ›Ά

Lake Como

Immediately after takeoff from BGY, look down for the dramatic Y-shaped Italian lake surrounded by steep mountains.

❄️

Bernina Range

Soar past Piz Bernina, the highest peak in the Eastern Alps, featuring glaciers and jagged granite ridges.

🌊

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive freshwater expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often passed directly to the east.

🌲

Black Forest

The deep greens of the Schwarzwald region in Germany provide a striking contrast to the rocky Alpine terrain.

🚒

The Middle Rhine

Follow the path of one of Europe's most important waterways as it winds through the German industrial heartland.

The right side is superior for the first 20 minutes of the flight; keep your camera ready immediately after rotation to capture Lake Como. On clear days, you can see all the way to the Austrian Alps. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your mountain photos.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
πŸ”οΈ

Bernese Oberland

Distant but clear views of the iconic Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross the Swiss border.

πŸ™οΈ

Zurich Cityscape

Aerial perspective of Lake Zurich and the Swiss financial capital nestled in the Limmat valley.

🌳

The Ardennes

Dense, rolling forest landscapes covering southeastern Belgium and Luxembourg during the descent phase.

β›ͺ

Maastricht

The historic Dutch city and the winding Meuse river visible shortly before entering the Eindhoven approach pattern.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and a better view of the high Swiss peaks. During the final approach into Eindhoven, you may catch a glimpse of the High Tech Campus if the wind is from the north.
