Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of views including the Mediterranean coastline, the Italian Lake District, the jagged Dolomites, and a scenic approach over the Danube into Bratislava.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Mallorca Coastline

Exquisite views of the turquoise bays and white sands of the island's eastern shore.

🛥️

French Riviera

The glittering coastline of Nice and Monaco often appears in the distance across the sea.

🏞️

Lake Garda

The largest lake in Italy is frequently visible as a bright blue gem nestled in the foothills.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps offering some of the best aerial terrain views in Europe.

🌉

Bratislava Castle

A close-up view of the Danube River and the city's hilltop castle during the final approach.

The right side is essential for the approach into BTS; if the wind is from the west, you will fly directly over the Danube with a perfect view of the UFO Bridge and Castle. Late afternoon flights provide warm, golden lighting on the Dolomites, making for spectacular photography.

Left Side Highlights
8.3
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain range shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean as the flight crosses towards the French coast.

🏔️

High Alps

Sweeping panoramas of the central Alpine peaks across Switzerland and Austria.

🏰

Salzburg Area

Views of the salt-rich mountains and historical surroundings of Mozart's birthplace.

🎡

Vienna Outskirts

The sprawling urban landscape of the Austrian capital visible during the initial descent.

Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction when viewing the Serra de Tramuntana. In winter, this side provides excellent views of the northern Alpine snow line. For morning flights, the lighting on the mountains is crisp and avoids direct glare.
