Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a spectacular panorama of the high Alps to the north and a direct view of the stunning Italian lakes and Bergamo's historic Upper Town during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Eastern Pyrenees

Immediately after takeoff, enjoy views of the rugged peaks marking the border between Spain and France.

๐Ÿ‡

Provence Landscapes

Fly over the rolling hills, vineyards, and lavender fields of southern France.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

High Alps

A breathtaking sequence of snow-capped peaks as the route skims the southern edge of the Alpine range.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Como

Look for the iconic Y-shape of one of Italy's most famous glacial lakes just before the final approach.

๐Ÿฐ

Bergamo Cittร  Alta

The medieval walled city of Bergamo often appears clearly on the left during the final landing phase.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the mountains. The highlight is the transition from the French Provence to the Italian Alps; keep your camera ready as you cross the border. In winter, the snow cover on the mountains makes for extraordinary photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
๐ŸŒŠ

Costa Brava

Witness the dramatic cliffs and hidden turquoise coves of the Spanish coastline shortly after departure.

๐Ÿšข

Gulf of Lion

Wide-angle views of the deep blue Mediterranean and the busy maritime traffic near Marseille.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Cote d'Azur

Catch glimpses of the glitzy French Riviera including the shorelines of Cannes, Nice, and Monaco.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Ligurian Coast

The rugged Italian coastline and the city of Genoa visible as you turn inland toward the Po Valley.

๐Ÿšœ

Po Valley

The vast, geometric agricultural plains of Northern Italy leading toward the base of the Alps.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to enjoy the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea. Look south early in the flight to see the French coastline. This side is typically smoother for viewing during the cruise phase over the water, offering a serene maritime perspective.
