Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean views, the right side provides a dramatic panorama of the French and Swiss Alps and the Rhone Valley during the cruise phase.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Mallorca

A distant but clear view of the largest Balearic island rising out of the Mediterranean shortly after departure.

🌿

Provence Landscape

The picturesque fields and vineyards of Southern France, often visible near the Rhone River.

πŸ”οΈ

Western Alps

A spectacular long-range view of the snow-capped French Alps, including the majestic Mont Blanc on clear days.

πŸ’§

Lake Geneva

The distinctive crescent shape of Lac LΓ©man visible to the east depending on the specific air traffic control routing.

βš“

Rhine River

The industrial and historic winding path of the Rhine as the plane descends into the Basel-Mulhouse area.

The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Try to book a morning flight for front-lit views of the Alps, or a late afternoon flight to see the peaks catching the golden hour glow. Keep an eye out for the Rhone River which serves as a navigational guide for much of the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
πŸ–οΈ

Ibiza Shoreline

Crystal clear turquoise waters and the white sand beaches of Ibiza and Formentera immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Expansive views of the French Mediterranean coastline as the flight crosses from the sea into mainland France.

⛰️

Massif Central

The rugged, volcanic plateaus and rolling green hills of south-central France.

🌲

Jura Mountains

Dense pine forests and limestone ridges marking the approach toward the tri-national border.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Ibiza departure and the coastal crossing near Montpellier. This side is typically shielded from direct afternoon sun, making it easier to photograph the landscape without glare.
