Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the spectacular Alpine mountain range and the iconic Lake Maggiore during the descent into Milan.
Miami Skyline
Unparalleled views of South Beach, the high-rises, and the Venetian Islands during the initial climb out of Florida.
Atlantic Crossing
As the flight heads north-east, watch the shifting colors of the deep ocean and passing shipping lanes.
The Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and Italian Alps as you descend towards Northern Italy.
Lake Maggiore
A spectacular view of the lake's western shore and the Borromean Islands on the final approach into Malpensa.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps. This flight typically arrives in the morning, making the sunrise light hitting the snow-capped peaks exceptionally beautiful during the winter months.
Biscayne Bay
Aerial views of the bay's northern islands and the coastal wetlands shortly after departing Miami.
Atlantic Dawn
The prime location for witnessing a glorious sunrise over the open ocean during the late stages of the transatlantic crossing.
Lombardy Plains
Expansive views of the fertile Po Valley and the distant silhouette of the Apennine mountain range to the south.
Milano Sightings
Glimpses of the urban sprawl of the Milan metropolitan area and its landmarks depending on the landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for travelers who want to see the sunrise. If the flight takes a more southerly route across Europe, you might see the French coastline or the distant Pyrenees. Keep an eye out for the sun reflecting off the Ticino river during landing.
