Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the high Alpine chain and an exceptional perspective of the Italian Lake District, particularly Lago Maggiore, during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐ŸŒณ

Bohemian Highlands

Rolling green hills and dense forests of the Czech Republic's southern regions.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Alpine Range

A long, spectacular traversal of the highest peaks in Austria and Switzerland.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Garda

The deep blue expanse of Italy's largest lake visible from high cruise altitude.

โ„๏ธ

Monte Rosa Massif

The massive, snow-capped peaks of the Pennine Alps dominate the horizon during descent.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Lago Maggiore

Stunning low-altitude views of the Borromean Islands just minutes before touchdown.

The right side is essential for Alpine enthusiasts. During the descent into MXP, the plane often maneuvers over the lakes; keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best shots of the Italian Pre-Alps and the lakes. Afternoon flights provide beautiful 'golden hour' lighting on the mountain faces.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Tatra Mountains

Dramatic views of the jagged peaks along the Polish and Slovakian border shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿฐ

Krakรณw Region

The historic Vistula river valley and the outskirts of Poland's ancient capital.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Eastern Alps

The glaciated peaks of the Austrian Alps stretching towards the south.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Milan Skyline

On a clear day during descent, the skyscrapers of Porta Nuova are visible to the southeast.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best angle for the Tatra Mountains early in the flight. In winter, look for the snow-covered Po Valley which creates a stark contrast with the urban centers.
