Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled perspective of the highest Alpine peaks, including a close-up of Mont Blanc, and the unique volcanic terrain of the Massif Central during the descent.
Lake Maggiore
Expansive views of the deep blue lake and its islands immediately after departing Malpensa.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe, offering spectacular snowy vistas shortly after crossing the Italian border.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and craters of central France visible during the mid-flight cruise.
The Pink City
A perfect view of Toulouse's terracotta rooftops and the Garonne River during the final approach.
Select a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine glaciers. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Mont Blanc massif, bringing out the textures of the ice and rock. This side is typically more scenic during the first half of the journey.
Monviso Peak
The iconic, pyramid-shaped 'King of Stone' in the Cottian Alps standing prominently above the clouds.
Écrins National Park
A rugged landscape of glaciers and steep rock faces in the French Southern Alps.
Rhône Valley
The winding curves of the Rhône River as it flows toward the Mediterranean coast.
Pyrenees Horizon
Distant views of the jagged mountain border between France and Spain on the approach to Toulouse.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the Pyrenees chain on the horizon. If the flight path dips south, you may even spot the Mediterranean coastline near Montpellier.
