Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Mediterranean islands, including Sardinia and Corsica, followed by the most dramatic peaks of the Swiss Alps and the picturesque transition into the German lowlands.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Gulf of Hammamet

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

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Corsica & Sardinia

Dramatic rugged coastlines and mountainous terrain of these iconic Mediterranean islands.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Swiss Alps

Breathtaking panoramas of snow-capped peaks, including the High Alps and the Jura mountains.

๐Ÿฐ

Rhine-Main Region

Views of the dense German forests and the industrial yet green heart of central Germany.

๐ŸŒพ

Lรผneburg Heath

The expansive purple-hued heathlands and flat plains of Northern Germany during the final descent.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left (A) for a morning flight to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the Mediterranean islands. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes after takeoff for the Alpine crossing, which is the scenic highlight of the route.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Tyrrhenian Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue sea and the distant outlines of the Italian mainland.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Ligurian Coast

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Frankfurt Skyline

Port of Hamburg

If the flight approaches from the south, you may see the massive container terminals of the Elbe.

The right side (F or K) is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, shadow-rich views of the mountains. On the approach to Hamburg, watch for the Elbe River winding through the landscape toward the North Sea.
