Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda upon takeoff and a more direct view of the jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites and the Eastern Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Costa Smeralda

Unrivaled views of Sardinia's world-famous emerald coast and the Maddalena Archipelago immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Tuscan Apennines

The rolling hills of Tuscany and the sharp ridges of the northern Apennine mountain range.

🏔️

The Dolomites

A breathtaking panorama of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites, known for their unique vertical walls and pale rock colors.

🏙️

Munich & Allianz Arena

On clear days, the city of Munich and its iconic 'inflatable' stadium are visible to the east before heading north to Nuremberg.

🏰

Nuremberg Surroundings

Views of the Franconian landscape and the historic city center of Nuremberg during the final approach.

The right side is essential for seeing the turquoise Sardinian bays. To maximize the Alpine experience, try to book a morning flight when the eastern light hits the Dolomite peaks, creating high-contrast shadows that define the terrain.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Corsica Coastline

Dramatic views of the rugged eastern cliffs and mountainous interior of the French island of Corsica shortly after departure.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

The transition from the Mediterranean to the Italian mainland, often passing near the scenic Cinque Terre region.

🏔️

Central Alps

Spectacular views of the Swiss and Austrian high-altitude peaks, including glaciers and deep valleys.

❄️

Zugspitze

Potential sightings of Germany's highest peak as the flight enters Bavarian airspace.

🌲

Altmühltal Nature Park

The winding Altmühl river and the lush forests of Central Bavaria during the initial descent phase.

Sit on the left for the best views of Corsica's mountainous spine. For mid-day flights, the sun will be behind you for a significant portion of the flight, reducing glare on the window while photographing the Alps.
