Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic Alpine peaks, including the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc, and provides a spectacular full-length view of Lake Constance during the descent into Friedrichshafen.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
βš“

French Riviera

Sweeping views of the CΓ΄te d'Azur, including the prestigious coastline around Nice and Monaco.

πŸ”οΈ

The Matterhorn

The unmistakable pyramid-shaped peak of the Matterhorn rising above the Valais Alps.

πŸ”οΈ

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps, standing majestically above its surrounding glacial neighbors.

πŸ’§

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A breathtaking panorama of the entire lake as the aircraft descends toward the German shore.

🎈

Friedrichshafen City

The historic home of the Zeppelin, with a clear view of the hangars and the lakeside promenade.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain enthusiasts. For the best lighting on the Alps, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the southern faces of the peaks. Keep your camera ready as you pass over Switzerland, as the Matterhorn is a frequent highlight. Be sure to look for the Zeppelin NT airships often operating near the airport upon arrival.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

UNESCO World Heritage mountain range on the northern coast of Mallorca visible shortly after takeoff.

Lake Geneva

The massive crescent-shaped Lac LΓ©man, with the city of Geneva and the Jet d'Eau occasionally visible.

Jura Mountains

The long, forested ridges of the Jura range forming the natural border between France and Switzerland.

Island of Mainau

The 'Flower Island' in Lake Constance, identifiable by its botanical gardens and castle during the final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while crossing the Mediterranean. Watch for the dramatic transition from the sea to the rugged terrain of the Massif Central and the Jura. During winter, this side offers better views of the snow-covered slopes of western Switzerland.
