Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a dramatic gallery of Europe's most famous landscapes, including the heart of the Alps, the French Riviera, and the majestic Pyrenees.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

High Alps

Spectacular close-up views of the snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps shortly after takeoff.

🇫🇷

Côte d'Azur

The glamorous French coastline including glimpses of Nice, Cannes, and the Marseille harbor.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

The natural border between France and Spain, featuring sharp ridges and deep green valleys.

🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

The distinct urban grid of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Familia are often visible.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-tipped even in late spring, appearing just before the descent into Malaga.

This is the premier side for photography. Ensure you have your camera ready within the first 30 minutes for the Alps. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare as you head southwest.

🏔️

Slovenian Alps

Distant views of the Julian Alps and the rugged terrain of northern Italy.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean as the flight crosses from Italy towards Spain.

🏝️

Balearic Islands

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers a more serene, maritime perspective with beautiful ocean horizons and island spotting.
