Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Pyrenees and the snow-capped Alps, often including glimpses of Mont Blanc and the Italian Lake District during the descent into Bergamo.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

The high-altitude border between Spain and France featuring dramatic jagged peaks.

🏞️

Massif Central

Rugged highland region in South-Central France known for its ancient volcanic plateaus.

❄️

The High Alps

Majestic snow-capped summits visible as the flight transitions from France into Northern Italy.

💧

Lake Como

The iconic Y-shaped glacial lake visible during the final descent into the Bergamo region.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The deep blue waters of the Atlantic coast visible during the initial climb from Porto.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Pyrenees and the Alps. Morning flights are ideal as the sun remains to the south, illuminating the northern mountain faces perfectly. During the final 20 minutes, watch for the Prealps and the Italian lakes.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🍇

Douro Valley

World-famous terraced vineyards and the winding Douro river shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Zaragoza

Aerial views of this historic Spanish city situated within the expansive Ebro Valley.

🏖️

Cote d'Azur

The sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean coast stretching from Marseille to Nice.

⛴️

Genoa Harbor

The busy port city and the curved Ligurian coastline visible before turning north.

⛰️

Ligurian Apennines

Rolling green mountains meeting the sea along the Italian Riviera.

The right side offers stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline. If flying during the late afternoon, you will experience a beautiful warm glow over the French and Italian Rivieras. This side is also better for spotting the winding Douro river during departure.
