Right Side Highlights
8.8
βš“

Elbe Estuary

Views of the sprawling Port of Hamburg and the winding Elbe river heading west.

πŸ”οΈ

The Zugspitze

Germany's highest peak is often visible in the distance during the crossing of the Alpine arc.

πŸ’§

Lake Garda

The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake, framed by steep cliffs at its northern end.

⚜️

Florence & Tuscany

The red-tiled roofs of the Duomo and the rolling vineyards of the Chianti region.

πŸ›οΈ

Rome & Vatican

On clear days, the white marble of the Vittoriano and St. Peter's Basilica are visible to the west.

🏝️

Gulf of Naples

Final approach views of the islands of Ischia and Procida floating in the azure sea.

Choose the right side for the most iconic Italian landmarks. This side is better for photography during morning flights as the sun is behind the aircraft. During the descent, look for the sharp silhouette of Capri if the plane turns over the sea for its final alignment.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
πŸ™οΈ

Hamburg Panorama

Aerial view of the Alster lakes and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall shortly after departure.

⛰️

The Harz Range

The Brocken peak and the densely forested northern German highlands.

πŸ”οΈ

Austrian Alps

Dramatic views of the Karwendel and Tux Alps as the flight crosses into Italy.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Apennine Spine

The rugged mountain backbone of Italy, often snow-capped in winter months.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

An unparalleled view into the crater of the volcano during a standard approach to Runway 24.

Sit on the left for a direct look into the crater of Vesuvius if the aircraft is landing from the east. In the morning, the sun will be on this side, so expect some glare; late afternoon flights provide beautiful soft light on the Alpine peaks.
