Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled panorama of the high Alps, including Mont Blanc, along with a stunning view of Florence's historic center immediately after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🎨

Historic Florence

Breathtaking views of the Duomo and the Arno River right after departing Peretola Airport.

⛰️

The Apennines

The rugged spine of Italy provides a dramatic transition from Tuscany toward the north.

❄️

Mont Blanc & The Alps

The absolute highlight: spectacular, close-range views of Europe's highest peaks and glaciers.

🍇

Burgundy Vineyards

The geometric precision of world-renowned wine regions in eastern France.

🏰

French Chateaux

Keep an eye out for historic estates and winding rivers as the plane descends toward the Ile-de-France.

The Alpine crossing occurs approximately 25-35 minutes into the flight; stay alert during this window. A seat forward of the wing is highly recommended to capture unobstructed photos of the snow-capped peaks and the Florence cityscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Ligurian Coastline

Views of the Mediterranean coast and the Italian Riviera as the aircraft heads northwest.

🌄

Maritime Alps

The southern edge of the Alpine range where the mountains meet the sea.

🗼

Greater Paris

A sprawling view of the French capital and its landmarks if the wind necessitates a southern approach to CDG.

Choose the left side for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It also offers the best chance to see the Eiffel Tower if the flight path circles the city from the south during landing.
