Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled perspective of the Mont Blanc massif and the sweeping crescent of Lake Geneva during the transition from Italy into France.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏘️

Bologna Cityscape

Aerial views of the historic red-roofed city and the distinct Two Towers shortly after departure.

🏔️

Mont Blanc Massif

Close-up views of the highest peak in the Alps and its surrounding glaciers as you cross the border.

🌊

Lake Geneva

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

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

The geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards stretching across the Côte d'Or region.

🗼

Greater Paris

Distal views of the Parisian urban sprawl and the Eiffel Tower as the plane descends toward Beauvais.

Book a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the snow-capped peaks. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct skyline of Paris to the south.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌾

The Po Valley

The fertile plains of Northern Italy with the winding Po River visible before the Alpine ascent.

🏔️

Matterhorn & Monte Rosa

Iconic sharp peaks of the Pennine Alps visible in the distance to the north.

🌲

Jura Mountains

The densely forested ridges and deep limestone valleys that separate France and Switzerland.

🍾

Champagne Region

The rolling hills and chalky soils of the historic province of Champagne during the final cruise phase.

🏰

Picardy Landscapes

The open agricultural fields and traditional villages of Northern France during the approach to BVA.

Look out for the Matterhorn roughly 20 minutes after takeoff; its pyramid shape is unmistakable even from a distance. Afternoon flights on this side enjoy the warmest light over the French countryside, though glare can be an issue if the sun is low in the west.
