CMN β†’ MXP

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline, the glamourous French Riviera, and a dramatic descent over the high Italian Alps and Alpine lakes into Milan.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Rif Mountains

The lush, green-topped peaks of northern Morocco visible shortly after departure.

πŸ–οΈ

Costa del Sol

The sparkling beaches of Malaga and the Alboran Sea coastline of southern Spain.

πŸ›₯️

French Riviera

Crystal clear views of the CΓ΄te d'Azur, including the iconic bays of Nice and Monaco.

πŸ”οΈ

Monte Rosa Massif

The second-highest mountain in the Alps, providing a majestic backdrop during the descent.

πŸ’§

Italian Lakes

Potential views of Lake Maggiore or Lake Como depending on the specific arrival pattern into MXP.

The right side is ideal for coastal scenery. Timing is key; during afternoon flights, the 'Golden Hour' illuminates the Mediterranean coast and the Alps beautifully. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Riviera and the dramatic Alpine lakes during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Casablanca Shoreline

Strait of Gibraltar

A distant look at the narrow crossing where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.

πŸ”οΈ

The Pyrenees

❄️

Western Alps

Choose the left side for better views of the Atlantic Ocean at takeoff and the Spanish interior. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right, making the left side better for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the Rhone Valley during the transition into the Alps.
