Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of views, beginning with the stunning Gothenburg archipelago immediately after takeoff, followed by a better angle of the high Swiss Alps and a breathtaking approach over the Ligurian Sea toward the Tuscan coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Gothenburg Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the thousands of rocky islands scattered along the Swedish west coast right after takeoff.

๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ

Port of Hamburg

One of Europe's largest ports and the winding Elbe River are prominent landmarks over Northern Germany.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Constance

The 'Bodensee' creates a massive shimmering border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Swiss Alps

Prime views of legendary peaks such as the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau depending on the specific air corridor.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Ligurian Coastline

As the plane approaches Pisa, enjoy the view of the Italian Riviera meeting the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea.

The right side is unbeatable for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the Alps and the Mediterranean. During the landing pattern at PSA, if the aircraft approaches from the north, you may catch a glimpse of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Piazza dei Miracoli just before touchdown. Polarizing sunglasses are recommended to reduce glare from the Alpine snow and the sea.

๐ŸŒ‰

ร˜resund Bridge

The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Malmรถ and Copenhagen is visible shortly after departure.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Berlin Metropolitan Area

On a standard southern heading, the sprawling urban layout of the German capital can be seen to the east.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Tyrolian Alps

Aerial views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps as you cross into Southern Europe.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is often visible as a deep blue sliver nestled at the foot of the mountains.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Apennine Mountains

The rugged 'spine' of Italy provides a dramatic backdrop during the final descent into the Tuscany region.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding for seeing the transition from the flat North German Plain into the sudden verticality of the Alps. Keep an eye out for the red-tiled roofs of Florence in the distance during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
