Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking views of the Central Alps and a superior perspective of the Maltese archipelago, including Gozo and Comino, during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Central Alps

Dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Italian Alps, providing a majestic mid-flight spectacle.

🏛️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy offers a textured landscape of valleys and historic hilltop towns.

🌋

Tyrrhenian Coast

Potential distant views of the Gulf of Naples and the iconic silhouette of Mount Vesuvius.

🏝️

Gozo and Comino

Unparalleled views of the smaller Maltese islands and the vibrant Blue Lagoon during the approach.

🏰

Maltese Cliffs

The dramatic limestone cliffs of Malta's western coast are often visible just before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun sets to the west, illuminating the Alps and the Maltese coastline. This side typically offers the best view of the archipelago's northern islands (Gozo and Comino) during standard arrival patterns.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Lithuanian Lakelands

Scenic views of the dense forests and river systems surrounding Kaunas shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

High Tatras

Distant views of the rugged peaks on the border of Poland and Slovakia during the first hour.

🏖️

Adriatic Coast

Stunning turquoise waters and the Italian coastline visible as the plane tracks south along Italy.

🌋

Mount Etna

On clear days, the smoke-capped peak of Europe's most active volcano is visible as you pass eastern Sicily.

🌊

Ionian Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean horizon before the final descent into Luqa.

Sit on the left for morning departures to avoid the sun's glare. Keep a lookout for Mount Etna approximately 25 minutes before landing. In winter, the snow-covered Tatras provide a stark, beautiful contrast against the green lowlands.
