Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior perspective of Lake Garda and the spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites during the Alpine crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💎

Lake Garda

A stunning aerial view of Italy's largest lake, featuring its narrow northern fjord-like tip.

❄️

The Dolomites

Iconic jagged peaks and sheer rock faces of the UNESCO World Heritage site in South Tyrol.

🐄

Bavarian Foothills

Lush green pastures and traditional German villages typical of the region south of Munich.

🌉

Main River Valley

The winding river landscape that leads the aircraft toward the final approach at Frankfurt.

The right side is the prime choice for this route. Aim for a seat well ahead of the wing (Rows 1-8) to capture unobstructed photos of the Dolomites. In winter, the contrast between the white peaks and blue lakes is exceptionally vivid.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Tuscan Apennines

The rugged mountain ridges separating Tuscany from the Po Valley visible immediately after takeoff.

💧

Lombardy Lakes

Distant views of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore reflecting the sun on the western horizon.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

A panoramic view of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland and high Swiss peaks in the distance.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of southwestern Germany as the descent begins.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid glare. Watch for the dramatic transition from the flat Po Valley into the vertical walls of the Alps roughly 20 minutes into the flight.
