Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic Swiss peaks and a breathtaking final approach over Lake Como and the historic walls of Bergamo's Upper Town.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
๐ŸŒณ

The Ardennes

Lush, rolling hills and dense forests of Southern Belgium shortly after departure.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Bernese Oberland

High-altitude views of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks in the Swiss Alps.

๐Ÿ’Ž

Lake Lucerne

The complex, multi-armed glacial lake shimmering between steep mountain ridges.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Como

Exceptional views of the famous Y-shaped lake and its luxury villas during the descent.

๐Ÿฐ

Bergamo Cittร  Alta

The stunning medieval walled city of Bergamo visible just moments before touchdown.

Choose a morning flight for the best illumination of the Alpine peaks without the afternoon haze. Keep your window shade open 20 minutes before landing, as the descent over the Italian Lake District happens quickly. In winter, the contrast between the snow-capped Alps and the Po Valley is particularly striking.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Jura Mountains

Linear mountain ridges and deep valleys stretching along the French-Swiss border.

๐Ÿ“

The Matterhorn

The iconic pyramid-shaped peak visible in the distance among the Pennine Alps.

๐ŸงŠ

Aletsch Glacier

The largest glacier in the Alps, appearing as a massive river of ice from high above.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Lake Maggiore

Beautiful views of the Borromean Islands and the western side of the Italian lakes.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Milan Skyline

On clear days, the skyscrapers of Milan are visible on the southern horizon during final approach.

Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the high peaks isn't obstructed. Afternoon flights on this side may experience sun glare, so polarized sunglasses are highly recommended. This side is slightly better for spotting the highest peaks of the Valais region.
