Which side of the plane to sit from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (Genoa) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic ascent over the Ligurian coast and provides the best angle to spot the high peaks of the Western Alps, including potential views of the Mont Blanc massif.
Ligurian Riviera
Immediate views of the turquoise coastline and the rugged cliffs of the Italian Riviera upon takeoff.
Maritime Alps
The rapid transition from sea level to the jagged snow-capped peaks of the southern Alpine range.
Mont Blanc
On clear days, the highest peak in Europe is visible in the distance to the northwest during the cruise phase.
Jura Mountains
The distinctive folded limestone ridges that mark the border between France and Switzerland.
Grand Est Region
The rolling countryside of northeastern France, dotted with historic villages and agricultural patterns.
Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the mountain peaks. Look out approximately 15-20 minutes after departure for the most dramatic mountain scenery.
Port of Genoa
A bird's-eye view of Italy's largest commercial seaport and the historic Lanterna lighthouse.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy stretching toward Milan.
Bernese Oberland
Views of the central Swiss Alps, featuring famous peaks like the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
Swiss Lakes
Glimpses of deep blue Alpine lakes such as Lake Neuchâtel as the flight crosses into France.
The Ardennes
The dense, undulating green forests of southern Belgium during the final descent into Charleroi.
The right side is excellent for seeing the industrial architecture of Charleroi during the final approach. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you might catch a glimpse of Lake Geneva. Seasonal tip: The Ardennes are particularly stunning on this side during the autumn foliage peak in late October.
