Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is highly recommended for its spectacular approach into Geneva, offering the best views of Mont Blanc and the full length of Lake Geneva.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Djerba Island

A full view of the island's unique landscape, white-domed architecture, and salt pans immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean with silhouettes of the Italian coast in the distance.

🗻

Mont Blanc

The 'Roof of Europe' and its massive glaciers appear prominently on the right as the plane nears Geneva.

💧

Lake Geneva

The entire crescent of Lac Léman, with the Swiss Riviera and vineyards visible on its northern shores.

🏙️

Geneva Jet d'Eau

On a typical Runway 22 approach, look for the city's famous 140-meter tall water fountain in the lake.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right and fly during midday or afternoon to avoid direct sun glare. As you cross the Alps, keep your eyes peeled for Mont Blanc; it is the most distinct peak in the range. During the final minutes of the flight, the right side offers a postcard-perfect view of Geneva's harbor and the lake.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏖️

Gulf of Gabès

Aerial views of the Tunisian coastline and the shallow, turquoise waters surrounding the mainland near Djerba.

🏝️

Western Corsica

The rugged western coastline of the French island, featuring dramatic cliffs and the Gulf of Ajaccio.

🏔️

Écrins National Park

Glaciers and high peaks of the French Dauphiné Alps visible as you head toward the Swiss border.

⛰️

Jura Mountains

The folded limestone ridges defining the border between France and Switzerland during the final descent.

Sit on the left if you want a better view of the Mediterranean islands' rugged western shores. During a Runway 22 approach into Geneva, you will have a close-up view of the Jura mountain range just before landing.
