Which side of the plane to sit from Iaşi Airport (Iasi) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular continuous panorama of the Alpine chain as the flight traverses Northern Italy, including the Dolomites and the stunning wall of mountains surrounding Turin.
Apuseni Mountains
The forested peaks of western Romania providing a transition into the Hungarian plains.
Budapest & Danube
Views of the Hungarian capital and the dramatic 'Danube Bend' where the river turns south.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Garda & Maggiore Lakes
Look for the deep blue waters of Italy's northern lakes nestled at the foot of the mountains.
The Alpine Wall
A magnificent view of the high Alps including Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn during the descent into Turin.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain enthusiasts. As you approach Turin, the Alps form a massive horseshoe-shaped backdrop that is best seen from this side. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the view of the Dolomites and Lake Garda. In winter, the snow-capped peaks are particularly dazzling.
Southern Carpathians
Aerial views of the rugged Făgăraș and Retezat massifs shortly after departure from Iaşi.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Hungary stretching toward the horizon.
Po River Meanders
Intricate loops and oxbow lakes of Italy's longest river as it flows through the Lombardy plains.
Milan Suburbs
The dense urban sprawl of the Milanese metropolitan area and its satellite cities.
Turin City Center
If landing toward the north, enjoy views of the Mole Antonelliana and the city's grid layout.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft. This side is also excellent for viewing the urban landscape of the Po Valley and the city of Turin if the flight path approaches from the south (Runway 36). Keep an eye out for the distinctive pyramid shape of Monviso to the southwest during descent.
