Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the central Alpine chain and a direct view of Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, during the final descent into Ljubljana.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Black Forest

The dark, dense canopy of Germany's famous Schwarzwald region appearing to the southwest.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the intersection of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

❄️

Central Alpine Glaciers

Glittering ice fields and high-altitude peaks of the main Alpine ridge in western Austria.

🏔️

Mount Triglav

The iconic three-headed peak and the surrounding Julian Alps as the plane enters Slovenian airspace.

🏡

Ljubljana Basin

A patchwork of emerald green fields and red-roofed villages during the low-altitude descent.

This is the prime side for mountain enthusiasts. For the best lighting on the Julian Alps, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the peaks. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for a perfect shot of Mount Triglav. Be aware that mid-day flights can be quite bright on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Kent Coast & English Channel

Aerial views of the white cliffs and the busy shipping lanes of the Channel shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Ardennes Forest

The dense, rolling greenery of the Ardennes region across the border of Belgium and Luxembourg.

🥨

Munich & Bavarian Plains

On clear days, the urban sprawl of Munich and the flat Bavarian landscape are visible to the north.

🏔️

Northern Limestone Alps

Dramatic jagged peaks of the Austrian Alps as the flight crosses into central Europe.

⛰️

Kamnik-Savinja Alps

Spectacular limestone massifs that dominate the horizon to the north during the final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Look out about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the transition from German plains to the first rise of the Alps. During winter, the snow-covered peaks of the northern Austrian ranges are particularly sharp on this side.
