Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Swiss Alps, the French Riviera, and a stunning coastal approach into Ajaccio.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

Clear views of the Danish mainland and the transition from the North Sea to continental Europe.

🏔️

Swiss High Alps

A front-row seat to iconic peaks like the Eiger and Matterhorn during the crossing of Switzerland.

💎

French Riviera

The glittering coastline of Nice, Cannes, and the Esterel Massif as the plane leaves the mainland.

🏝️

Sanguinaires Islands

A group of four dark porphyry islets marking the entrance to the Gulf of Ajaccio during final approach.

✈️

Ajaccio Bay

Unrivaled views of the city and the surrounding mountains as the aircraft banks for landing.

This is the prime side for alpine enthusiasts; the mid-flight crossing of the Swiss Alps is breathtaking. For the best lighting on the mountains, choose a morning flight. On descent, the right side provides the classic view of the Sanguinaires Islands and the Ajaccio harbor. Be mindful of the afternoon sun, which can be quite strong on this side during southbound flights.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Oslo and Oslofjord

Aerial views of the Norwegian capital and the intricate islands of the fjord immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Baltic Coastline

Glances of the eastern Danish islands and the German Baltic coast near Rostock.

🏔️

Eastern Alps

Dramatic views of the Austrian and Italian peaks as the flight crosses towards the Mediterranean.

🏖️

Tuscan Archipelago

Vibrant views of Elba and smaller Italian islands shortly before reaching the Corsican coast.

⛰️

Cap Corse

The northern 'finger' of Corsica, featuring rugged mountains dropping sharply into the turquoise sea.

Sit here if you want to catch the morning sun lighting up the Italian coastline. It is also the better side for viewing the Tuscan islands during the descent. Keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep blue Mediterranean and the green northern tip of Corsica.
