Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular progression from the winding Rhine and the Black Forest to the high Swiss Alps, culminating in a breathtaking view of Lake Como during the descent into Bergamo.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚒

Rhine River Bend

Follow the meandering silver ribbon of the Rhine as it flows through the German heartland.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense, dark coniferous forests of Southwest Germany stretching toward the Swiss border.

πŸ”οΈ

Swiss High Alps

Uninterrupted views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks in the distance.

πŸ›Ά

Lake Como

The iconic Y-shaped Italian lake, known for its deep blue waters and luxury villas, visible during descent.

🏒

Milan Skyline

On clear days, the skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district are visible to the south before landing.

The right side is superior for alpine scenery, specifically the transition from the Black Forest into the high peaks. For the best views of Lake Como, ensure you are seated behind the wing. Afternoon flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. Seasonal tip: winter flights provide the most dramatic contrast with snow-covered peaks.
