Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular crossing of the Alps with a direct view of Mont Blanc and a scenic descent over the Italian Riviera and the Ligurian coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🍾

Champagne Vineyards

The famous rolling vineyards and historic estates of the Reims and Epernay regions of France.

🌊

Lake Geneva

The massive crescent-shaped lake with views of Lausanne and the surrounding Swiss-French Jura mountains.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

A prime view of the highest peak in the Alps and Western Europe, often visible in stunning detail.

🇮🇹

Aosta Valley

The dramatic glacial valley of northwest Italy, flanked by some of the highest peaks in the entire mountain range.

🏖️

Cinque Terre

The stunning Ligurian coast featuring rugged cliffs and colorful coastal villages as you descend toward Pisa.

🏗️

Leaning Tower

Depending on the runway approach, a final glimpse of the Piazza dei Miracoli just moments before touchdown.

The right side is the clear winner for Alpine scenery. Mont Blanc is the highlight, appearing roughly midway through the journey. For the best views of the Italian coastline and Cinque Terre, ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed downward view during descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Ardennes Forest

Lush, rolling hills and deep river valleys of southern Belgium and northern France shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Vosges Mountains

The rounded summits and dense forests of eastern France providing a beautiful transition toward the Alps.

❄️

Bernese Alps

Distant but majestic views of the high Swiss peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs.

💧

Italian Lakes

Views of the northern tips of Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano as you cross the border into Italy.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy visible as the aircraft begins its descent into the Tuscany region.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. Look out for the snow-capped Swiss peaks about 40 minutes after takeoff. During winter, the snow-covered Vosges mountains are particularly photogenic.
