Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the Right Side is preferred for the spectacular approach over Lake Garda and the rugged peaks of Wales earlier in the journey.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏴gbwaaast

Snowdonia National Park

The rugged mountains and lakes of North Wales visible shortly after crossing the Irish Sea.

🏙️

London & SE England

Views of the Thames Valley and the sprawling Greater London area to the east.

❄️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible on the horizon during the trans-Alpine crossing.

🚤

Lake Garda

A breathtaking view of Italy's largest lake and the Sirmione peninsula during the final approach.

🍷

Valpolicella Vineyards

The geometric patterns of famous Italian vineyards just before touchdown at Verona Villafranca.

The right side is essential for the approach into Verona. Flight paths often circle over Lake Garda; sitting here provides an unmatched view of the turquoise water and the narrow northern fjord-like section of the lake. Seasonal snow on the Alps is most impressive from November to April.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Dublin Bay

Aerial views of the Irish coastline and Howth Head immediately after takeoff from DUB.

🗼

Paris Environs

Distant views of the French capital and its distinctive urban layout depending on the exact airway.

🌲

Jura Mountains

The lush, forested ridges marking the border between France and Switzerland.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Dramatic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into the high mountains.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Jagged limestone peaks visible to the northeast during the descent into the Veneto region.

The left side is superior for viewing the dense high peaks of the central Swiss Alps. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountain faces without glare.
