Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a spectacular departure view of the Maltese archipelago and a more direct angle of the Western Alps' highest peaks, including the Mont Blanc massif.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🇲🇹

Maltese Archipelago

Aerial views of the Blue Lagoon at Comino and the rugged northern coastline of Gozo shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Alps

Breathtaking vistas of the French and Swiss Alps, often featuring the snow-capped peak of Mont Blanc.

🏙️

Paris Peripheral

The eastern sprawl of the Paris metropolitan area and the winding Seine river during the northern transit.

🚢

English Channel

Crossing the busy maritime shipping lanes between Dieppe and the UK coast.

🛶

Norfolk Broads

The unique network of navigable rivers and lakes visible during the descent into Norwich.

Choose a seat in front of the wing for the best views of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Mediterranean and the mountains. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the Gozo coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

Mount Etna

If the flight path tracks slightly east, you can see the smoking summit of Sicily's famous volcano.

🇮🇹

Italian Tyrrhenian Coast

Views of the shoreline near Rome and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, including Elba.

💧

Lake Geneva

The massive crescent-shaped lake bordering Switzerland and France is often visible to the north.

🚜

French Countryside

The neat geometric patterns of the agricultural heartlands of Picardy and Champagne.

🌅

East Anglian Coastline

Views of the Suffolk and Norfolk beaches, including Southwold and Great Yarmouth on approach.

Look out for Mount Etna approximately 20-30 minutes after departure. For sunset flights, this side offers beautiful golden-hour views over the French plains, though glare can be an issue. During the final approach, watch for the distinctive offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
