HERMAN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Greek archipelago, the Adriatic coastline, the iconic city of Venice, and the most dramatic sections of the Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Cyclades Islands

A stunning mosaic of white-washed islands like Santorini and Mykonos scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.

🇮🇹

Adriatic Coast

The long, sandy stretches of the Italian eastern coast and the transition into the Venetian Lagoon.

⛵

Venice

Look down to spot the unique shape of the 'Floating City' and its intricate network of canals from high altitude.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The pale, jagged peaks of the Italian Alps provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe.

🥨

Rhine River Valley

The winding Rhine river and the industrial heartland of Western Germany and the Benelux region.

🏗️

Manchester City Center

When landing on Runway 23R, you get a clear view of the city's growing skyline and major football stadiums.

This is the shade side for most of the flight, offering better visibility and fewer window reflections. Stay alert approximately 2 to 2.5 hours into the flight for the crossing of the Alps. If landing from the east, you will have a perfect view of the Manchester skyline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Cretan Shoreline

Breathtaking views of the turquoise Cretan Sea and the rugged northern cliffs of Crete immediately after takeoff from HER.

⛰️

Peloponnese Peninsula

The deep bays and mountainous terrain of southern mainland Greece are visible during the initial climb.

🏟️

Central Apennines

Views of the limestone peaks forming the 'backbone' of Italy as the flight crosses the Italian peninsula.

🏙️

Parisian Outskirts

On certain flight paths, the sprawl of the French capital and its surrounding forests can be seen to the west.

🌳

The Peak District

Green rolling hills and moorlands of Northern England during the final descent into Manchester.

For daytime flights, expect significant glare and direct sunlight on this side as the aircraft travels northwest. Use a polarizing filter for photography. This side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic and the English Channel.
