Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers an exceptional panoramic view of the highest peaks in the Alps, including Mont Blanc and the Swiss ranges, followed by central European landmarks like Lake Constance and the Czech landscape.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

French Riviera

Incredible views of the Promenade des Anglais and the surrounding bays of Nice and Antibes immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

High Alps

A breathtaking view of the snow-capped massifs of the Western and Central Alps, often including clear sightings of Mont Blanc.

💧

Lake Constance

The large, bright blue lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria is a prominent landmark during the mid-flight cruise.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

Depending on the specific air traffic control routing, the red roofs and historic spires of the Czech capital can be visible.

🌾

Masovian Plains

As the plane descends toward Warsaw, the patchwork of agricultural fields and small forests typical of Central Poland unfolds.

Choose a window seat toward the front of the aircraft to avoid the wing and engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun illuminates the Alpine peaks from the south, providing perfect lighting for photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🇲🇨

Principality of Monaco

Catch a glimpse of the dense skyline and luxurious harbors of Monte Carlo shortly after departure from NCE.

⛰️

The Dolomites

The distinct, jagged limestone silhouettes of the Italian Dolomites are often visible on the southern horizon.

🌊

Danube River

The flight path often crosses or parallels this historic waterway as it winds through the Austrian and Slovakian regions.

🏢

Warsaw Skyline

During the final approach into WAW, the right side often provides a dramatic view of the skyscrapers in the city center if approaching from the south.

The right side is excellent for viewing the Mediterranean coastline during the initial climb. If flying in the late afternoon, the right side will be the shady side, which can help reduce glare for those wanting to watch the landscape without direct sunlight.
