MAN โ VRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Verona Villafranca Airport (Villafranca)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Bernese Oberland and the iconic Sirmione peninsula on Lake Garda during the final approach.
Welsh Mountains
Distant views of the Snowdonia range are often visible to the west during the initial climb.
Parisian Horizon
Depending on the specific airway, the Eiffel Tower and Paris city center can often be spotted in the distance.
Bernese Oberland
Unrivaled views of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight traverses the heart of Switzerland.
Sirmione Peninsula
The most iconic view of the trip: the narrow land strip and Scaliger Castle jutting into Lake Garda.
Valpolicella Vineyards
Lush green corridors of world-famous vineyards just moments before touching down in Verona.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. During the descent into VRN, keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing to capture the Sirmione peninsula. Seasonal tip: in winter, the sunset over the Alps from this side is spectacular.
Peak District National Park
Shortly after departure, enjoy views of the rolling hills and gritstone edges of Northern England.
Greater London
As you head south, the left side often catches the sprawling skyline of London and the Thames Estuary.
Champagne Region
Fly over the structured vineyard patterns of northeast France near Reims.
Central Swiss Alps
A breathtaking panorama of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as you cross the Swiss border.
Lake Garda Eastern Shore
On descent, view the rugged slopes of Monte Baldo meeting the deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Alps isn't obstructed. On clear morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses. Watch for the Dolomites appearing on the horizon approximately 20 minutes before landing.
