Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for its direct views of the Mont Blanc massif and the iconic aerial perspective of the historic Venice city center and the Grand Canal during the descent into Marco Polo Airport.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏰

Loire Valley ChΓ’teaux

Aerial views of the winding Loire River and historical French estates shortly after departure.

πŸ”οΈ

Mont Blanc

Dramatic proximity to the highest peak in the Alps, often passing just north of the summit.

πŸ’Ž

Lake Geneva

The crescent-shaped alpine lake is often visible to the north when crossing the French-Swiss border region.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Distinctive jagged limestone peaks visible to the north as the plane crosses into Northern Italy.

🎭

Venice Historic Center

The quintessential view of the 'S' shaped Grand Canal and St. Mark's Square on final approach.

Book a window seat on the left for the approach into Venice. If the aircraft lands on Runway 04L or 04R, the left side offers the famous 'Venice from above' view. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Alps and the Venetian Lagoon.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
πŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged terrain of south-central France.

🎿

Ecrins National Park

The southern French Alps featuring impressive glaciers and the Pelvoux massif.

πŸ™οΈ

Milan & Po Valley

Expansive views of the Italian industrial heartland and the distant Milanese skyline.

🌊

Lake Garda

A clear view of the southern, wider shores of Italy's largest lake near Sirmione.

πŸ–οΈ

Adriatic Coastline

The shimmering blue of the northern Adriatic sea as the plane turns for its final descent.

Choose the right side for beautiful sunset views across the French countryside on late afternoon flights. While you miss the direct view of the city center during landing, you get a broader panorama of the Italian Alps and the vast Po Valley plains.
