Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable departure view of Mount Vesuvius and a stunning descent over Hamburg's Alster lakes, combined with excellent views of the Bavarian Alps and Munich.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

An iconic, close-up look at the world's most famous volcano immediately after departing Naples.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

The Dolomites

The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps provide a dramatic landscape during the mid-flight cruise.

โšฝ

Munich & Allianz Arena

The Bavarian capital and its distinctively shaped stadium are frequently visible while crossing southern Germany.

๐ŸŒฒ

Harz Mountains

Dense green forests and the Brocken peak visible as the plane transitions into the Northern German Plain.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Alster Lakes

A stunning view of the Binnenalster and AuรŸenalster in the heart of Hamburg during the landing sequence.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see Vesuvius on departure. For the arrival in Hamburg, morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alster lakes and city center. If the plane approaches from the north, you will have a perfect view of the city hall (Rathaus).

Left Side Highlights
8.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Phlegraean Fields

Dramatic volcanic craters and the islands of Ischia and Procida visible during the initial climb.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Rome and the Coast

The 'Eternal City' and the Tyrrhenian coastline can often be spotted to the west during the first phase of flight.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Swiss-Austrian Alps

Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys during the trans-Alpine crossing.

๐Ÿšข

Hamburg Harbor

Depending on the wind, the final approach often yields views of the massive container terminals and the Elbe river.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Alps. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights as the sun begins to set over the Mediterranean and the mountains.
