Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this northbound flight as it provides a stunning panoramic view of the French Alps and the Jura Mountains against the horizon throughout the latter half of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Alcúdia Bay

Crystal clear turquoise waters of the northern Mallorca coastline during the initial climb.

🏔️

The French Alps

A majestic panorama of the snow-capped Alps, including Mont Blanc, visible to the east on clear days.

💧

Lake Geneva

The massive crescent-shaped lake spanning the border between France and Switzerland.

🧗

Jura Mountains

The dramatic limestone ridges and plateaus that define the border region between France and Switzerland.

🥨

Black Forest

The dark, dense canopy of Germany's Schwarzwald appearing on the horizon just across the Rhine river.

Morning flights are best for the right side to catch the sunlight hitting the Alpine peaks. For the best views of Mont Blanc, look out about 45-50 minutes into the flight. On approach to BSL, this side offers a clear view of the Rhine river which marks the border between France, Germany, and Switzerland.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Aerial view of Mallorca's rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean as the flight transitions from the Balearic Sea to the French coast.

🏰

Rhône River Valley

Views of the winding Rhône river and the historic city layouts of Avignon and Lyon as you head north.

🍇

Beaujolais Vineyards

The rolling green hills of the famous French wine region visible north of the city of Lyon.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

Rounded, forested peaks in northeastern France visible during the final descent phase into the EuroAirport.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side offers better views of the Rhône's riverbanks and the industrial and historical heart of eastern France. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Camargue wetlands when crossing the coast.
