Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular sequence of landmarks including the azure waters of Lake Garda, the jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites, and the sprawling Lake Constance before descending over the Dutch polders.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake, easily recognizable by its narrow northern tip wedged between steep mountains.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Dramatic views of the limestone towers and jagged ridges of the Eastern Alps.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

⛪

Ulm Minster

If the path is favorable, you can spot the world's tallest church spire in the German city of Ulm.

🌷

Noord-Brabant Polders

The geometric agricultural patterns and canals characteristic of the southern Netherlands during final approach.

Sit on the right for the best morning light across the Alps, which prevents harsh glare during photography. Watch closely 15 minutes after departure from Bologna as the plane crosses the Po Valley toward the mountains. Look for the distinct turquoise hue of the alpine lakes.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Swiss Alps

Panoramic views of the high-altitude glaciers and central Swiss massifs depending on the specific airway.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany.

🏰

Rhine River Valley

The winding silver thread of the Rhine, flanked by historic towns and terraced vineyards.

🏙️

Cologne-Bonn Area

The urban landscape of the Rhineland, often featuring distant views of major cathedrals.

For evening flights, sit on the left to enjoy the sunset over the European horizon. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain shadows. During the descent, watch for the shift from German hills to the flat, canal-rich terrain of the Netherlands.
