BRU → FLR
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Peretola Airport (Florence)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular views of the Alps, the right side is typically favored for spotting Europe's highest peaks, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, followed by a scenic descent over the iconic Tuscan countryside.

Champagne Region
The geometric patterns of the famous French vineyards stretching toward the horizon.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake with views of Geneva and Lausanne along the shores.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe, often clearly visible with its permanent snow cap.
The Matterhorn
The unmistakable pyramidal peak standing tall on the border of Switzerland and Italy.
Tuscan Hills
The quintessential landscape of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress trees during final approach.
Sit a few rows behind the wing to ensure your view of Mont Blanc isn't obstructed. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; however, the sunset views over the Ligurian coast and Tuscany are unparalleled. This side offers the best perspective of the rugged Apennine Mountains just before landing.

Ardennes Forest
Dense green ridges and winding river valleys across southern Belgium and Luxembourg.
Central Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Italy.
Lake Maggiore
The sparkling blue waters of one of Italy's largest subalpine lakes.
Milan & Po Valley
The vast industrial plains of Lombardy and the distant urban skyline of Milan.
Florence City Center
An incredible view of the Duomo and historic center if the flight approaches Runway 05 from the east.
The left side is excellent for morning flights as the sun will be behind you. During the descent into Florence, keep your camera ready for a potential view of the terracotta-roofed city center if the pilot performs a circle-to-land maneuver. In winter, the snow cover on the Central Alps is breathtakingly sharp on this side.
