MXPMIA

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled view of the Pennine Alps immediately after takeoff, followed by dramatic coastline views of the US Eastern Seaboard during the descent into Florida.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

High Alps

Massive peaks including Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn are visible to the north within minutes of takeoff from MXP.

🍷

French Atlantic Coast

The rugged coastline of the Bay of Biscay and the famous vineyards of the Bordeaux region.

❄️

Canadian Maritimes

If the flight path follows a northern Great Circle route, look for the rocky shores of Newfoundland.

🏖️

The Outer Banks

The unique thin strip of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina visible during the southward descent.

🐊

The Everglades

The vast, emerald-green 'River of Grass' wetland ecosystem located just west of Miami.

The first 20 minutes are crucial; keep your window shade up to see the snow-capped Alps. During the final hour, the right side often offers a great view of the Florida coastline. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through the ocean haze.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Milan & Po Valley

Aerial views of the Lombardy region and the sprawling metropolitan area of Milan shortly after departure.

🌊

The Azores Archipelago

On southerly tracks, catch a glimpse of the volcanic peaks of these Portuguese islands in the mid-Atlantic.

🏝️

The Bahamas

Breathtaking turquoise waters and coral reefs of the Bimini and Abaco islands as the flight nears Florida.

🏖️

Miami Beach

A classic view of the high-rise skyline and the strip of white sand along the Atlantic coast.

🚢

PortMiami

View the world's largest cruise ship terminal and the Venetian Islands during the final approach.

Choose the left side for better lighting during the afternoon arrival in Miami, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is superior for spotting the vibrant blue hues of the Caribbean and Bahamian shallows before landing.
