Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Bohemian landscape upon departure, a breathtaking traverse across the Tyrolean Alps, and an iconic aerial perspective of Lake Como during the descent into Milan.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Prague Cityscape

Immediate views of the Vltava River and the historic red roofs of the Czech capital shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Tyrolean Alps

A stunning panorama of the jagged peaks and deep valleys of the Austrian and Italian Alps as you head south.

💧

Lake Como

The distinct 'Y' shape of Lake Como is often visible on the left during the initial descent phase into Malpensa.

🏙️

Milan Skyline

On a clear day, the rising skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district and the Duomo di Milano appear to the southeast.

Book a window seat on the left (A) for the best views of Lake Como. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps without the glare of the southern sun. In winter, the snow-capped peaks are particularly dazzling, so bring polarized sunglasses.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌲

Bavarian Forest

Expansive views of the dense forests and rolling hills of southern Germany.

🌊

Lake Constance

Glimpses of the massive Bodensee bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland depending on the specific flight corridor.

🏔️

Swiss Alps Peaks

Distant views of major Swiss massifs, including potential sightings of the Bernese Oberland peaks.

🚤

Lake Maggiore

As the plane turns for its final approach to MXP, Lake Maggiore and its islands often appear close to the aircraft.

The right side (F) is excellent for catching the sunset over the Western Alps on late afternoon flights. Keep your camera ready as you cross into Italy for the dramatic transition from high alpine peaks to the lush Lombardy lakes region.
