BRU → BLQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Bernese Alps, including the iconic Jungfrau region, followed by a direct look at the Italian lakes and the Milanese skyline during the descent.
Luxembourg City
The deep Alzette valley and historic fortifications of the city from above.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded peaks of the French Vosges range passing just to the west.
Bernese Oberland
World-famous peaks including the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau standing in a row.
Lake Como
The distinctive Y shape of Lake Como and the smaller Lake Lugano nestled in the foothills.
Milan Cityscape
The dense urban sprawl of Italys financial capital, often including the San Siro stadium.
The right side is best for Alpine enthusiasts. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to capture the descent over the Italian Lakes. In winter, the contrast between the snowy peaks and the green Po Valley is spectacular.
The Ardennes
Dense green forests and rolling hills across Southeast Belgium and Luxembourg.
Strasbourg & Rhine
The winding Rhine River marking the border between France and Germany with Strasbourg visible.
Central Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the Glarus Alps and the high peaks of Central Switzerland.
Lake Lucerne
The intricate, fjord-like shape of Lake Lucerne surrounded by steep mountains.
Po Valley
The vast, fertile agricultural plains of Northern Italy leading towards the Apennines.
On morning flights, the left side benefits from the sun being on the opposite side, providing clearer views of the Rhine. Watch for the sharp transition from the high Alps to the flat Italian plains.
