Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Ancona Falconara Airport (Ancona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers the best perspective of the Adriatic coastline during the descent and a more direct view of the Venetian Lagoon and Eastern Alps.

Lower Rhine Valley
Aerial views of the winding Rhine river and the industrial heart of North Rhine-Westphalia shortly after takeoff.
Eastern Alps Panorama
Spectacular views of the German and Austrian Alps, potentially including the Zugspitze and the Hohe Tauern range.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands are visible as you transition to the Adriatic coast.
Adriatic Coastline
A long stretch of sandy beaches and coastal resorts like Rimini and Riccione as the plane descends towards Ancona.
Ancona Port
A close-up view of the historic port of Ancona and the city's amphitheater-like layout during the final approach.
For morning flights, expect significant sun glare on this side; mid-day or late afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the Adriatic turquoise waters.

Cologne & Bonn
Distant views of the Cologne Cathedral and the former West German capital along the Rhine.
Swiss Alps Peaks
A magnificent view of the high Swiss peaks and glaciers, often looking towards the Bernese Oberland.
The Po Valley
The geometric agricultural patterns of Italy's most fertile region, divided by the winding Po River.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'spine' of Italy, featuring deep valleys and ancient hilltop villages throughout the Marche region.
San Marino
Look for the three towers of the world's oldest republic perched atop Mount Titano during the descent.
This side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. During winter months, the snow coverage on the Swiss Alps is particularly striking from this side. Look out for the microstate of San Marino as the plane begins its final turn towards Falconara.
