MLANYO

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is superior for this northbound journey, offering a front-row seat to the majestic Mount Etna shortly after takeoff, followed by the jagged limestone cathedrals of the Dolomites and the scenic islands of the Baltic Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Mount Etna

A stunning close-up of Europe's most active volcano as the flight crosses Sicily shortly after leaving Malta.

🇮🇹

Apennine Mountains

The scenic 'spine' of Italy, featuring rolling green hills and ancient hilltop villages scattered across the landscape.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Spectacular views of the pale, jagged peaks and deep valleys of the Italian and Austrian Alps.

🌊

Öland and Gotland

The distinct shapes of Sweden's largest islands visible in the Baltic Sea during the descent toward Skavsta.

🌲

Swedish Södermanland

The lush green forests and thousands of small lakes typical of the Swedish landscape just before landing at NYO.

Sit on the right for the iconic view of Mount Etna, which typically appears 15 to 20 minutes after departure. On morning flights, be aware of the sun's position, but the geological variety—from volcanic craters to alpine glaciers—makes this side unbeatable.

🏝️

Maltese Archipelago

Bird's-eye view of Gozo's rugged cliffs and the crystal-clear Blue Lagoon of Comino during the initial ascent.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Deep blue vistas of the Mediterranean with potential sightings of the Aeolian Islands and the Tuscan coastline.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Distant but breathtaking panoramas of the snow-covered Swiss and French alpine massifs during the mid-flight cruise.

🏙️

Central Germany

Aerial views of the dense urban grids and industrial heartlands of Germany as the flight heads toward the Baltic.

🌅

Sunset Horizon

On late afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over Western Europe as you approach Sweden.

Choose the left side for better lighting conditions on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from MLA for the best shots of the Maltese islands' limestone architecture.
