Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Elba coastline upon departure and an unobstructed view of Lake Garda and the high Alpine glaciers during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏖️

Elba Shoreline

Breathtaking views of the turquoise bays and white sands of the Tuscan Archipelago immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Ligurian Coast

A sweeping view of the Mediterranean coastline as the flight heads north toward the Italian mainland.

🏔️

Apuan Alps

The striking white marble quarries of Carrara, which appear like snow-capped peaks even in the height of summer.

💧

Lake Garda

Dramatic views of Italy's largest lake, specifically the steep cliffs of the western shore and the Sirmione peninsula.

❄️

Central Alpine Ridge

Direct views of massive glaciers and the highest peaks of the Austrian and German Alps during the transit to Bavaria.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. In the morning, this side is in the shade, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps and Lake Garda. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes for the best shots of Elba's rugged northern coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🚢

Port of Piombino

The industrial and historical maritime gateway on the Tuscan coast visible shortly after departure.

🏰

Tuscan Hinterland

Rolling hills, vineyards, and medieval hilltop villages characteristic of the Maremma and northern Tuscany regions.

⛰️

The Dolomites

The iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the Rosengarten and Sella groups visible to the east of the flight path.

🥨

Munich Skyline

On the standard approach to MUC, you can often see the Allianz Arena and the city center towers in the distance.

🌲

Bavarian Forests

Lush green landscapes and the Isar River valley as the aircraft descends into the Munich basin.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the Dolomites, highlighting their unique pinkish hue. Be aware that the sun will be directly on this side during morning flights, which may cause significant glare. Watch for the Inn River valley as you cross from Austria into Germany.
