BIA β LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Bastia-Poretta Airport (Bastia) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Cap Corse peninsula during departure and a better angle for the majestic Western Alps and Lake Geneva during the cruise.
Cap Corse
The wild, northern peninsula of Corsica with jagged cliffs and turquoise waters visible immediately after takeoff.
Western Alps
Spectacular views of high-altitude snow-capped peaks including the Mont Blanc massif in the distance.
Ligurian Coast
Aerial perspective of the French Riviera and the rugged coastline of the Var region.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake with the city of Geneva and its famous fountain often visible.
Lorraine Plateau
The historic landscapes and agricultural patterns of eastern France during the start of the descent.
Sit on the left for the best view of the 'finger' of Corsica right after takeoff. For the best Alpine lighting, a morning flight provides crisp shadows on the peaks. Keep an eye out for the Jet d'Eau in Geneva if visibility is high.
Elba Island
A glimpse of the legendary island where Napoleon was exiled, situated in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Genoa Harbor
The massive industrial port and colorful urban sprawl of the Ligurian capital.
Bernese Alps
Distant but clear views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks across the Swiss plateau.
Black Forest
The dense, dark-green wooded mountains on the German-French border to the east.
Moselle Valley
Stunning terraced vineyards and river bends as the aircraft approaches Luxembourg-Findel.
The right side is excellent for spotting the Italian coast and the central Swiss massifs. During the final approach into LUX, the right side often provides a better view of the Moselle river loop and the surrounding wine country in the evening sun.
