Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a superior panoramic view of the Western Alpine chain and the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean coastline to the high-altitude glaciers of Switzerland.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Tyrrhenian Coast

Aerial views of the Roman coastline and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.

🍷

Tuscan Vineyards

The rolling green hills and geometric agricultural patterns of the Chianti region.

🏔️

Western Alps

Spectacular views of high-altitude peaks and glaciers as you cross the Swiss-Italian border.

🏞️

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of Western Europe's largest lake visible in the distance.

🏰

Lorraine Region

Historic French landscapes featuring scattered chateaus and the Moselle river valley.

Sit on the left for the best mountain photography; mid-morning flights offer the most favorable light angle on the Alpine ridges. During the descent, look for the stark contrast between the industrial basins of Northeast France and the lush greenery surrounding Luxembourg.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏛️

The Eternal City

Views of Rome's urban sprawl, the Tiber River, and occasionally the Vatican dome depending on the departure path.

⛰️

Apennine Range

The rugged mountain spine of Italy running parallel to the flight path in the early stages.

💧

Italian Lake District

Glimpses of the deep blue waters of Lake Como or Lake Maggiore nestled in the mountain foothills.

🌲

The Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in southern Germany.

🌉

Luxembourg Gorges

The dramatic cliffs, old city fortifications, and impressive bridges of Luxembourg City on final approach.

Choose the right side if you want the best chance to see the city of Rome during departure. As you approach Luxembourg-Findel, this side offers an excellent perspective of the Alzette River valley and the historic 'Grund' district if the wind favors a southern approach.
