Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Tuscan archipelago and the most iconic high peaks of the Western Alps, followed by the winding Rhine River.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Tuscan Archipelago

Clear views of Elba and the rugged coastline of Tuscany shortly after takeoff from FCO.

🏔️

Western Alps

Spectacular views of the highest European peaks, including potential sightings of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive lake where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏰

Rhine Valley

The iconic German river corridor known for its steep vineyards and hilltop medieval castles.

🚢

Kattegat Sea

The maritime passage between Denmark and Sweden as the flight begins its descent into Gothenburg.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you while viewing the Alps. The mountain crossing occurs approximately 45-55 minutes into the flight. Look out for the distinct pyramid shape of the Matterhorn if the flight path stays slightly west.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Central Apennines

The rugged limestone 'spine' of Italy visible during the initial climb out of Rome.

💎

The Dolomites

The sharp, jagged peaks of the Italian Alps known for their unique pinkish-grey limestone.

🥨

Bavarian Plains

Deep green forests and the urban sprawl of Munich visible as you cross into Germany.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

The massive engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, to Malmö, Sweden.

🌲

Swedish Archipelagos

Thousands of small rocky islands and dense forests characteristic of the Swedish west coast.

The Oresund Bridge is a highlight best seen about 20 minutes before landing. In winter, the right side offers stunning views of snow-covered Bavarian landscapes. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the horizon isn't obstructed during the banking turns into Landvetter.
