MXP β LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic high-altitude peaks of the Pennine Alps, including the Matterhorn, immediately after the ascent from Malpensa.
Lake Maggiore
Exceptional views of the Borromean Islands and the lakeside towns of Stresa and Baveno during the initial climb.
Monte Rosa Massif
Close-up views of the second-highest mountain in the Alps and its massive glaciers along the Italian-Swiss border.
The Matterhorn
The distinct pyramid-shaped peak is clearly visible to the west as the flight crosses into Swiss airspace.
Jura Mountains
A sprawling view of the limestone ridges that form the natural border between Switzerland and France.
Metz & Lorraine
The historic urban landscapes and green fields of northeastern France as the aircraft prepares for its final descent.
Book a window seat in the front third of the cabin (Rows 5-10) to avoid wing obstruction. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the western Alpine faces. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of departure for the best mountain shots.
Lake Como
The famous inverted Y-shaped lake and the city of Como are visible during the early stages of the flight path.
Bernese Oberland
Distant but majestic views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks across the Swiss plateau.
Zurich & Lake Zurich
Aerial perspective of the Swiss financial hub and its surrounding alpine foothills depending on the specific airway.
The Black Forest
The dense evergreen canopy of Germany's Schwarzwald visible as the flight traverses the Upper Rhine region.
Moselle Valley
Dramatic views of the winding Moselle River and its steep vineyard-covered banks just before landing in Luxembourg.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers a better perspective of the winding Moselle river loops during the approach to LUX. Watch for the contrast between the Italian Lakes and the Swiss Plateau.
