Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular vistas of the highest Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, and the iconic crescent shape of Lake Geneva during the transition from French to Swiss airspace.
Search flights from CRL to BLQ
Vosges Mountains
The rounded ridges and dense forests of eastern France provide a scenic prelude to the Alps.
Lake Geneva
The vast, blue crescent of Lac Léman stretching between the Jura Mountains and the Alps.
Mont Blanc
The 'Roof of Europe' is often visible as a massive, snow-capped dome on the horizon.
Aosta Valley
Dramatic deep-set glacial valleys carving through the high Italian mountain passes.
Apennine Ridges
The rugged northern edge of the Apennine Mountains visible during the final descent into Bologna.
Sit on the right for the best chance to spot Mont Blanc. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the western face of the mountains. During winter, look for the stark contrast between the snow-covered peaks and the often-misty Po Valley below.

The Ardennes
Deep green forest canopies and rolling hills visible shortly after takeoff from Charleroi.
Bernese Oberland
Stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks in the central Swiss Alps.
Lake Zurich
A clear view of the long, narrow lake cutting through the Swiss landscape.
Lombardy Plains
The sprawling agricultural patchwork and industrial hubs of the Po Valley as you enter Italy.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare and to see the sunrise illuminating the Swiss peaks. Keep an eye out for the transition from the flat Benelux region to the sudden dramatic rise of the Alps.
