Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged eastern coastlines of Sardinia and Corsica, followed by a breathtaking traverse over the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps and the picturesque Rhine River valley.

Swiss Alpine Peaks

Unrivaled views of the snow-capped Bernese Alps, including the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs.

🏰

Rhine Valley

The winding Rhine River dotted with vineyards and historic towns as you approach Strasbourg.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of Germany's Schwarzwald visible across the river border.

This is the premier side for geography lovers. Request a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine glaciers. During the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Rhine and the Black Forest on approach.

Vosges Mountains

The rounded peaks of the Vosges range visible during the final descent into the Alsace region.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Tunisian coast in the first 10 minutes and the Jura mountains as you enter French airspace. This side is typically quieter visually until the final approach over the Vosges.
