Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic experience, transitioning from the high peaks of the Western Alps to the spectacular turquoise waters and white-sand islands of the Adriatic coastline.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐ŸŒŠ

The English Channel

Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Dieppe.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Europe often stands out prominently to the south during the Alpine crossing.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Venice Lagoon

On clear days, the distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen from cruising altitude.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

An incredible stretch of hundreds of Croatian islands set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

โš“

Bay of Kotor

The dramatic, winding fjord-like bay of Montenegro just before entering Albanian airspace.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Durrรซs Coast

The long sandy beaches of Albania's coast as the plane turns for its final approach to TIA.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Adriatic islands and the Bay of Kotor. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
๐Ÿฐ

Kentish Countryside

Green rolling hills and historic estates of Southeast England immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿž๏ธ

Lake Geneva

The crescent-shaped alpine lake often appears on the left if the flight path tracks through Switzerland.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Bernese Oberland

Glaciated peaks of the Swiss Alps, including the famous Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau massifs.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Po Valley Cities

A glimpse of the dense urban layouts of Northern Italian cities like Milan or Verona.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Prokletije Mountains

The jagged Accursed Mountains of Northern Albania as you begin your descent into Tirana.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harshest sun glare. This side is superior for seeing the heart of the Swiss Alps, but you will miss the coastline. Look out approximately 50 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views.
