Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it provides a sweeping panorama of the high Swiss and Italian Alps, followed by a dramatic descent over the shimmering Adriatic coastline into Pescara.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🍾

Champagne Vineyards

Aerial views of the meticulously gridded vineyards of the Grand Est region shortly after departure from Beauvais.

🏔️

Swiss Alpine Peaks

Dramatic vistas of the Bernese Alps and the Matterhorn if the flight path tracks slightly south.

💧

Lake Garda

Spot the deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake nestled at the foot of the mountains.

🏙️

Emilia-Romagna Cities

Clear views of the urban layouts of Modena and Bologna as you cross the Po Valley.

🌊

The Adriatic Coast

A stunning turquoise perspective of the coastline stretching south toward Pescara during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is optimal for photography of the Alps as you will be looking away from the sun. Watch for the coastline roughly 20 minutes before landing; the contrast between the sea and the Apennine foothills is spectacular in the afternoon light.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
🗼

Parisian Horizon

Depending on the departure turn, you may see the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline in the distance to the south.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe often dominates the horizon as the flight crosses the French-Italian border.

🍷

Tuscan Hills

Rolling green hills and cypress-lined roads of central Italy become visible as you cross the Apennines.

⛰️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The highest massif in the Apennines, featuring the Corno Grande, provides a rugged backdrop just before landing.

🏗️

Pescara Harbor

A bird's-eye view of the Pescara marina and the modern Ponte del Mare bridge just seconds before touchdown.

The right side is best for seeing the rugged peaks of the Gran Sasso during the final approach. However, on morning flights, expect significant glare. In winter, the snow-capped Apennines are a highlight on this side. If the aircraft approaches from the sea, this side offers a better view of the city center.
