Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable view of the Maddalena Archipelago shortly after takeoff and provides a more direct perspective of the iconic Bernese Oberland peaks during the Alpine crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Maddalena Archipelago

Crystal clear turquoise waters and a cluster of granite islands immediately north of Olbia.

🏖️

Eastern Corsica

The long sandy beaches of the Costa Serena and the historic port city of Bastia.

🏔️

The Matterhorn

The distinctive pyramid shape of the Matterhorn and the surrounding Pennine Alps.

❄️

Jungfrau Region

A spectacular view of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau glaciers in the heart of the Alps.

🏙️

Lake Lucerne

The complex, winding shape of the lake surrounded by steep mountains before the final approach.

Book a window seat on the right for the 'Maddalena' views—they appear within the first 5-10 minutes of flight. During the Alpine transit, look for the Aletsch Glacier, the largest in the Alps, which is best viewed from this side.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
🌊

Gulf of Olbia

Deep blue waters and the limestone cliffs of Capo Figari during the initial climb.

⛰️

West Corsica Coastline

The rugged red granite cliffs of the Scandola Nature Reserve visible across the sea.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The snow-capped summit of Western Europe's highest peak appearing on the western horizon.

💧

Lake Geneva

The vast crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau in Geneva visible from a distance.

🌲

Jura Mountains

Dense forests and limestone ridges as the aircraft enters Swiss/French airspace.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for spotting the distant silhouette of Mont Blanc and the sprawling expanse of the Jura range during the descent into Basel.
