Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the most iconic Alpine peaks, including the Eastern Dolomites and the High Tatras, alongside views of the Adriatic coastline during the initial climb.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Adriatic Horizon

Distant views of the Venetian Lagoon and the northern Adriatic Sea as the aircraft climbs and turns toward the north.

🏔️

The Eastern Dolomites

Unrivaled views of the Sesto Dolomites and the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo peaks near the Italian-Austrian border.

🏔️

Großglockner Massif

View of Austria's highest peak and the Pasterze Glacier, the longest glacier in the Eastern Alps.

⛰️

High Tatra Mountains

The jagged granite peaks of the High Tatras forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.

🏰

Krakow & Vistula River

A scenic approach over the winding Vistula River with potential views of Wawel Castle depending on the landing runway.

The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. For the most dramatic experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Dolomites. During winter, the snow cover on the High Tatras is exceptionally beautiful as you cross into Polish airspace.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Bologna & Po Valley

Aerial view of Bologna's red-roofed city center and the expansive agricultural grid of the Po River valley during takeoff.

🏔️

Brenta Dolomites

Dramatic limestone spires and rugged ridges of the Western Dolomites visible as the plane enters the Alpine airspace.

❄️

Tyrolean Alps

Glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the Austrian Tyrol, often featuring snow-capped summits year-round.

🍇

Southern Moravia

The rolling hills and vineyards of the Czech Republic's wine country as the flight transitions toward Poland.

🏭

Upper Silesian Industrial Region

The dense urban and industrial landscape surrounding Katowice visible shortly before beginning the final descent into Krakow.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Po Valley's industrial layout and the western edge of the Alps. This side experiences less direct sun glare on morning flights heading north-northeast, making it ideal for photography of the rugged Austrian terrain.
