Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic peaks of the Central Alps and the stunning High Tatras mountain range in Slovakia.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Central Alpine Chain

Breathtaking views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe shortly after takeoff from Milan.

🏔️

High Tatras

Dramatic granite peaks along the border of Slovakia and Poland, often visible halfway through the flight.

🏙️

Zhytomyr Cityscape

A clear view of this historic northern Ukrainian city as the plane begins its initial descent.

🌲

Polesia Forests

Vast stretches of dense mixed forests and wetlands characteristic of the northern Ukrainian landscape.

For the most dramatic Alpine views, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the northern slopes. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after departure for the best mountain photography. During winter, the High Tatras are particularly striking against the white landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌆

Milan & Po Valley

A sweeping view of the Lombardy region and the industrial heart of Italy during the climb out.

🛶

Venetian Plain

Distances views of the Adriatic coastline and the flat, fertile plains leading toward the Balkans.

⛰️

Ukrainian Carpathians

The rolling, forested ridges of the Eastern Carpathians stretching toward the southern horizon.

🌊

Dnieper River

The massive river system winding through the heart of Ukraine as you approach the Kyiv region.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights, casting long shadows over the Carpathian ridges. On the approach to KBP, this side often provides a better perspective of the Dnieper River's wide basins and the surrounding agricultural tapestry.
