Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the high Swiss Alps, the dense greenery of the Black Forest, and the iconic 'spur' of Italy, the Gargano Peninsula, during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌲

The Black Forest

Expansive views of the dark, rolling hills and dense evergreen forests of Southern Germany.

🏔️

Swiss Alps Peaks

Premium views of the highest snow-capped Swiss peaks, including potential glimpses of the Eiger and Jungfrau.

🚤

Northern Italian Lakes

Look down for the deep blue waters of Lake Garda or Lake Como framed by steep mountain foothills.

⛰️

Apennine Backbone

The rugged central mountain range of Italy stretching down the peninsula toward the south.

🏖️

Gargano Peninsula

The dramatic 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring white cliffs, sea caves, and the lush Umbra Forest.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves west, providing perfect lighting for the Alps. Watch for the Gargano Peninsula about 20 minutes before landing; it is one of the most recognizable geographic landmarks in Italy from the air.

Left Side Highlights
8.3
🏰

Rhine-Main Region

Aerial views of the winding Rhine River and the industrial heart of southwest Germany.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Striking views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps as you cross into Italy.

🎭

Venetian Lagoon

Depending on the specific airway, you may spot the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

A long, scenic stretch following the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea toward the heel of Italy.

🏠

Bari Old Town

Views of the dense white-washed architecture of Bari's historic center on the final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the Balkan coastline across the sea if the visibility is high. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after takeoff for the Alpine crossing.
