Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a legendary aerial perspective of the Venetian archipelago and the red-roofed historic center during the final approach into Marco Polo Airport.
Grand Est Region
Bird's-eye view of the rolling plains and geometric agricultural patterns of eastern France.
Bernese Oberland
Dramatic views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight crosses the Swiss Alps.
Venice Historic Center
The iconic 'S' shape of the Grand Canal and the dense urban fabric of the historic city.
Northern Lagoon
The colorful, distinct islands of Burano and Torcello set against the emerald lagoon water.
Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Alps, which usually appear 50-60 minutes after takeoff. The landing path often follows the coastline, making the left side the only way to see the main island of Venice before touchdown. Early morning flights provide the clearest air for Alpine photography.
Greater London
Views of the suburban sprawl and the Thames estuary shortly after departing from Luton.
Mont Blanc Range
A distant but majestic view of the highest peaks in the Western Alps to the southwest.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake are often visible just before the final descent begins.
The Lido
The long, thin barrier island that separates the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for the Alpine peaks and reducing glare. Watch for the jagged peaks of the Dolomites as the plane transitions from its cruise altitude into the descent phase toward the coast.
