Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a masterclass in mountain geography, featuring the Hindu Kush, the Caspian Sea coastline, and a dramatic approach over the Italian Alps and Dolomites.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Hindu Kush

Stunning snow-capped peaks shortly after takeoff from Islamabad near the Afghan border.

🌊

Caspian Sea

The southern coastline of the world's largest inland body of water.

❄️

The Dolomites

The iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps during the descent phase.

💧

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake, often visible as a bright blue splinter among the mountains.

🏔️

Caucasus Range

Distant but majestic views of the high peaks between the Black and Caspian Seas.

The right side is essential for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for a morning departure for maximum clarity over the Alps. Ensure your seat is forward or aft of the wing to fully capture the descent over Lake Garda and the Prealps.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏜️

Iranian Plateau

Expansive views of the high-altitude deserts and salt flats of central Iran.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

The rugged peaks and deep valleys of southern and central Turkey.

🌊

Adriatic Sea

The shimmering blue expanse separating the Balkan Peninsula from the Italian coast.

🏙️

Po Valley

The lush, densely populated agricultural and industrial heartland of Northern Italy.

🏛️

Venice Lagoon

Distant views of the historic canals and islands of Venice as the flight enters Italian airspace.

Opt for the left side on evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean and Adriatic. It provides the best view of the Venetian coastline if the flight path tracks slightly south.
