Which side of the plane to sit from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg) to Bastia-Poretta Airport (Bastia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this route because it offers the most iconic views of the Swiss and French Alps transition and provides an unparalleled perspective of the Cap Corse coastline during the final approach into Bastia.
Search flights from LUX to BIA
Luxembourg City
View of the Kirchberg plateau and the historic Alzette valley immediately after takeoff from Findel.
Vosges Mountains
Dense forests and rounded peaks of the Ballon d'Alsace region in eastern France.
Swiss Alps
Distant but majestic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks depending on the specific flight corridor.
French Riviera
Aerial view of the stunning blue coastline near Nice and the principality of Monaco as you leave the mainland.
Cap Corse
The dramatic northern 'finger' of Corsica with its rugged cliffs and turquoise bays during the descent.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while enjoying the best light on the Alpine peaks. During the descent into Bastia, keep your camera ready for the Italian islands of Elba and Capraia which often appear on the horizon. This side is also better for seeing the city of Bastia itself if the plane loops around for a southern approach.

Jura Mountains
The limestone ridges and deep valleys marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Mont Blanc Massif
A spectacular view of the highest peak in the Alps, often passing quite close to the west of the summit.
Gulf of Saint-Tropez
Clear views of the luxury yachts and red-roofed villas along the famous Provencal coast.
Ligurian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with ferries traveling between Toulon and Bastia.
Monte Cinto
The jagged granite peaks of the Corsican interior, including the island's highest point, visible on the final approach.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for the first half of the flight, offering a potentially closer look at Mont Blanc. For evening flights, the right side will witness a beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean as you approach Corsica. However, be aware that the sun can be quite intense on this side for most of the southbound journey during the day.
