Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the jagged Dolomites and provides a better vantage point for the Venetian Lagoon and the Adriatic coastline during the final approach into Trieste.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌄

Vosges Mountains

The rounded peaks of the French Vosges range visible across the Rhine valley.

🏙️

Strasbourg

The capital of Alsace and its distinctive cathedral spire can often be spotted in clear weather.

🏔️

Central Alps

A continuous chain of snow-capped peaks spanning the Swiss and Austrian borders.

🧗

The Dolomites

The spectacular, pale jagged peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site, including the Sella Group.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

During the descent, look out for the unmistakable shape of Venice and its surrounding islands in the distance.

🌊

Gulf of Trieste

The sparkling Adriatic Sea and the Miramare Castle coastline during the final approach into Ronchi dei Legionari.

The right side is essential for viewing the Dolomites, which are the geographic highlight of this route. For late afternoon flights, the 'Enrosadira' effect can turn these peaks pink or red. On approach to TRS, the aircraft often flies parallel to the coast, offering views of the Grado lagoons and potentially Venice if visibility is high.

🌳

Ardennes Forest

Lush, rolling green hills of the Belgian and Luxembourgish countryside shortly after departure from Charleroi.

🏰

Luxembourg City

A glimpse of the historic fortress city and its deep river valleys as the flight heads southeast.

🌲

The Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the German Schwarzwald stretching toward the horizon.

💧

Lake Constance

The expansive blue waters of the Bodensee, where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏔️

Grossglockner

The highest peak in Austria and the dramatic glaciers of the Hohe Tauern range.

⛰️

Julian Alps

Rugged limestone peaks along the Slovenian border as the plane begins its descent into the Friuli region.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting the Austrian high Alps and the transition into the Balkan mountain systems. Keep your camera ready as you cross the border into Italy for views of the Isonzo River's emerald waters.
