Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the highest peaks in the Alps, including the majestic Mont Blanc massif, and provides a superior perspective of the Italian Po Valley during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Vosges Mountains

The rounded granite peaks of the French range located just west of the Rhine.

🌊

Lake Geneva

In the distance, the massive Alpine lake and the city of Geneva are often visible.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe usually stands out prominently on the horizon to the west.

🏙️

Milan Cityscape

A broad view of Italy's industrial heart and its surrounding suburban sprawl.

🐍

The Po River

Watch Italy's longest river meander across the flat, fertile plains of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna.

The right side is the 'money side' for Alpine scenery. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of Mont Blanc. Afternoon flights may experience some glare, so polarized sunglasses are recommended for the best visual experience.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Rhine River Valley

View the historic waterway as it winds through the border regions of Germany and France.

🌲

The Black Forest

Observe the dense, dark evergreen canopy covering the rolling hills of southwestern Germany.

💧

Lake Zurich

A clear view of the crescent-shaped Swiss lake and the surrounding urban landscape of Zurich.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Fly over the dramatic peaks of the Glarus Alps and the Lepontine range.

⛰️

The Apennines

As you approach Bologna, see the northern edge of the mountain range that forms Italy's backbone.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, allowing for better photography of the Swiss lakes. In the winter, this side offers the best views of the sunrise over the Alpine peaks if flying early.
