Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior panoramic view of the Central Alps and the legendary approach into Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, featuring the stunning turquoise waters of the French Riviera and the city's famous shoreline.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Warsaw View

Early in the flight, catch a glimpse of the modern skyline and Vistula River in Warsaw.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

The distinctive red roofs and historical bridges of the Czech capital are often visible.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Spectacular vistas of the highest peaks in Europe, including glaciers and dramatic valleys.

🏞️

Italian Lake District

Clear views of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding pre-Alpine hills in Northern Italy.

✈️

Promenade des Anglais

The iconic approach into Nice provides an unmatched view of the city's main boulevard and beaches.

The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Most flights into NCE perform a visual or RNP approach that circles over the Bay of Angels, providing a stunning view of Nice and the turquoise Mediterranean. For evening flights, you will witness the sunset over the Alps. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent over the Italian-French border begins.

High Tatra Peaks

Sharp granite summits and glacial lakes on the border between Poland and Slovakia.

🏔️

Tyrolian Alps

Dense clusters of snow-capped mountains across Austria and South Tyrol.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean opening up as the plane crosses the Italian coast.

🏖️

Riviera di Ponente

Aerial views of the Italian coastal towns leading towards the French border.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Eastern European plains and the Alps. This side is also excellent for viewing the rugged coastline of the Italian Riviera during the descent into Nice. Look out for the Appennino Ligure mountains just before the sea becomes visible.
