Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Italian coastline, the rugged Apennine spine, and a spectacular angle of the Western Alps including Mont Blanc during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Gargano Peninsula

Immediately after takeoff, view the limestone cliffs and green forests of the 'spur' of Italy.

⛰️

Central Apennines

The high ridges of the Gran Sasso and the central Italian mountain chain stretch beneath you.

🌊

Ligurian Coastline

Distant views of the Italian Riviera and the Gulf of Genoa as you cross northern Italy.

🏔️

Mont Blanc Massif

Look for the highest peak in Europe as the flight crosses the border into French airspace.

🏰

Loire Valley Edge

As you descend, catch the beginning of the châteaux-dotted landscapes of central France.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views on late afternoon or evening flights. This side is also better for spotting the Paris skyline in the distance as you approach Beauvais from the southeast. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 12-22 on a typical 737) for unobstructed ground views.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🚤

Adriatic Sea

Vibrant turquoise waters and the coastline of Puglia are visible during the initial climb.

🏙️

Po Valley Cities

The dense urban clusters of Bologna and Milan can often be spotted through the clouds.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland

On clear days, the high peaks of the Swiss Alps like the Eiger and Jungfrau are visible to the north.

💧

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman is a major landmark during the transit into France.

🍇

Champagne Vineyards

Observe the geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards as the plane nears the Paris basin.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides the best perspective of the deep Swiss lakes and the High Alps. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the best mountain photography as you leave Italian airspace.
