Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Western Mediterranean islands, the iconic high peaks of the Swiss Alps, and the scenic descent over the Rhine-Main region of Germany.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Gulf of Hammamet

Aerial view of the Tunisian coastline and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Corsica & Sardinia

Dramatic views of the western coastlines of these islands, featuring jagged cliffs and secluded coves.

🏔️

The Western Alps

Spectacular views of snow-capped Swiss peaks, often including distant glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif.

🏰

Rhine Valley

As you head north through Germany, catch sight of the winding Rhine River and its historic hillside castles.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Depending on the specific airway, the impressive skyscraper cluster of Germany's financial hub is often visible.

For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you while looking west at the Alps. During winter months, the snow coverage on the Alps is significantly more dramatic. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the left side will experience a beautiful sunset over Western Europe.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
🏖️

Cap Bon Peninsula

A clear view of the finger-like projection of Northeast Tunisia stretching into the Mediterranean.

🛶

Italian Lakes

Stunning views of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como as the flight crosses the border from Italy into Switzerland.

⛰️

Central Alps

Dense clusters of 4,000-meter peaks and glacial valleys throughout the Swiss and Austrian border regions.

🌲

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, providing a lush green contrast during the final descent phase.

🏟️

Hanover Cityscape

Often visible on the right during the approach to Bremen, showing the expansive urban layout of Lower Saxony.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Italian Lakes shortly before the Alpine crossing. Use a polarising filter on your camera to reduce the haze often found over the Mediterranean. In summer, keep an eye out for convective clouds building over the mountains in the afternoon, which can create dramatic storm-cell photography.
