Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic jagged peaks of the Dolomites and the sprawling landscapes of Bavaria and the Italian mainland.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Kerkennah Islands

Low-lying archipelago off the Tunisian coast known for its unique traditional fishing patterns.

🇮🇹

Tuscan Coast

The beautiful shoreline of central Italy and the distinct silhouettes of the Apennine Mountains.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Stunning views of the pale, jagged limestone peaks in Northern Italy, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

🏟️

Munich & Allianz Arena

The sprawling Bavarian capital and its iconic glowing white stadium are often visible from cruise altitude.

🏰

Saxon Castles

Historical estates and the winding Elbe river valley appearing as you approach the Leipzig/Halle area.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers; the crossing of the Alps usually occurs midway through the flight and lasts about 20 minutes. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the Dolomites. As you approach Leipzig, look for the industrial landmarks and large open-cast mines which have been converted into lakes.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Gulf of Gabes

Crystal clear turquoise waters and coastal lagoons visible immediately after departing Djerba.

⛰️

Corsica

The rugged, mountainous spine of the French island, often appearing as a 'mountain in the sea'.

🏔️

Western Alps

Distal views of the highest European peaks, including potential glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Dense, dark green canopies of central Germany's highlands as the plane begins its descent.

🏙️

Erfurt & Weimar

The historical cities of Thuringia visible just before entering the final approach pattern for Leipzig.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights, which helps in photography by reducing cabin reflections. About 50-60 minutes into the flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic coastline of Corsica. During the descent, the left side provides a better view of the rolling hills of central Germany.
