Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, and typically provides the iconic view of the Venetian historic center during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

London Skyline

Distant but often clear views of the UK capital and the Thames Estuary as the flight tracks southeast.

💧

Lake Geneva

The massive crescent-shaped lake visible as the aircraft enters Swiss and French airspace.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps, standing out prominently to the southwest of the typical flight path.

🇮🇹

Venice Historic Center

The iconic view of the fish-shaped main island and Grand Canal during a standard runway approach.

Sit slightly behind the wing for the best unobstructed photography of the Alpine range. If the aircraft approaches from the south, the right side provides an unrivaled view of St. Marks Square and the Doges Palace.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Peak District National Park

Rugged moorlands and rolling hills visible shortly after takeoff from Manchester airport.

🌊

English Channel

The narrow stretch of water separating the United Kingdom from mainland Europe near the Dover crossing.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Sweeping views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks during the mid-flight cruise phase.

🛶

Venice Lagoon

The intricate network of islands and salt marshes visible during the final descent into VCE.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the jagged peaks of the Dolomites appearing to the north as the aircraft begins its descent into the Venetian plain.
