Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Adriatic coastline and a front-row seat to the most iconic high-altitude peaks of the Swiss Alps, concluding with a scenic entry into Southern England.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Prokletije Mountains

Dramatic, jagged peaks of the Accursed Mountains along the border of Kosovo and Montenegro shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Dalmatian Coast

Stunning views of the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the dense archipelago of Croatian islands.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Glaciated summits and high-altitude terrain of the central Alps, often including views of the Bernese Oberland.

💧

Lake Geneva

The vast, crescent-shaped blue expanse bordering Switzerland and France.

🏖️

English Channel

The crossing from continental Europe to the white-cliffed coastline of Sussex near Beachy Head.

For the most dramatic lighting on the Alps, choose a morning flight. Note that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left (south) side, which may cause glare. Keep your camera ready about 30-45 minutes into the flight for the best coastal views.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🗺️

Dinaric Alps

The expansive limestone plateaus and rugged interior terrain of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

The northern limestone ranges and deep green valleys of the Tyrolean region.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of Germany's famous mountainous forest region.

🚢

Rhine River

The industrial and historic lifeline of Western Europe winding through Germany and France.

🏙️

London Skyline

Depending on the landing pattern, views of the distant London skyscrapers and the urban sprawl of Kent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. If Gatwick is landing from the west (Runway 26), the right side often offers a superior view of the sprawling London outskirts and the South Downs during the final approach.
