CRL โ AOI
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Ancona Falconara Airport (Ancona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic crossing of the high Swiss Alps followed by a unique opportunity to spot the microstate of San Marino during the descent into Ancona.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded ridges of the Vosges in Eastern France provide a scenic transition toward the Alps.
Bernese Oberland
Iconic views of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks, offering some of Europe's most spectacular alpine scenery.
Milan Metropolitan Area
The dense urban sprawl of Italy's fashion capital visible as the flight enters Italian airspace.
Northern Apennines
The rugged, forested spine of Italy that the aircraft traverses before descending toward the coast.
San Marino
The distinctive limestone cliffs of Mount Titano and the towers of the world's oldest republic.
Sit on the right for the ultimate 'Alpine experience.' Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes after departure for the high peaks. During the final descent, look closely for the three towers of San Marino perched on the cliffside to the west of the flight path.
Ardennes Forest
Rolling green hills and dense forests of Wallonia visible shortly after takeoff from Charleroi.
Central Swiss Alps
Snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the Eastern Swiss ranges appearing roughly 45 minutes into the flight.
Po Valley Vineyards
The geometric patterns of Northern Italy's fertile agricultural plains and wine regions.
Venetian Lagoon
A distant view of the shimmering Adriatic waters and the wetlands surrounding Venice to the north.
Adriatic Riviera
The continuous line of golden beaches and coastal resorts as the plane approaches the Marche region.
The left side is best for observing the contrast between the Po Valley and the Adriatic Sea. For the best photography of the coastline, choose a morning flight to avoid the glare of the southern sun reflecting off the water.
