Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a magnificent panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, including the snow-capped Sierra Nevada, the Balearic Islands, and the stunning French Riviera before the descent over the Italian Alps.

The narrow passage where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, with the Moroccan coast visible in the distance.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks of mainland Spain, including Mulhacรฉn, rising sharply behind the Andalusian coast.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Balearic Islands

Beautiful views of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca appearing as gems in the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Cรดte d'Azur

The glittering French Riviera coastline, including the cities of Cannes, Antibes, and Nice.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Western Alps

A close-up view of the rugged Italian and French Alps peaks during the descent into the Po Valley.

The right side is ideal for capturing the Mediterranean coastline and the Balearic Islands. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the sea haze. During afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare while flying east-northeast, but the sunset views over the Alps can be spectacular.

Lake Maggiore

Deep blue waters of this massive glacial lake situated just north of Malpensa airport during the final descent.
