Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the snow-capped peaks of the Alps and a potential aerial view of the Leaning Tower of Pisa immediately after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Piazza dei Miracoli

If departing to the north, you may spot the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Cathedral complex shortly after lift-off.

🏔️

The High Alps

Breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc massif and the Western Alps' highest snow-covered peaks.

🏙️

Paris Skyline

On clear days, the sprawling urban layout of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance to the east.

🛳️

English Channel

Watch the dense maritime traffic in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes between France and England.

🌳

The New Forest

The ancient woodlands and heathlands of Hampshire appearing as a vast green carpet during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic mountain scenery. For the best view of the Leaning Tower, look out immediately after the wheels retract. Late afternoon flights provide the best 'golden hour' lighting across the Alpine glaciers, making for excellent photography opportunities.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Ligurian Coastline

Stunning views of the Italian Riviera and the turquoise waters of the Ligurian Sea shortly after departure.

⛰️

Massif Central

The rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient mountain ranges of central France.

🏰

Loire Valley

A glimpse of France's 'Garden of Kings' featuring historic chateaux and winding river bends.

🏖️

Normandy Beaches

The historic coastline of northern France as the aircraft prepares for the English Channel crossing.

🏝️

Isle of Wight

Views of the iconic chalk cliffs and The Needles stack on the approach to the southern English coast.

The left side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Atlantic horizon on evening flights. During the descent into Bournemouth, watch for the distinctive shape of the Isle of Wight and the Solent shipping lanes. Avoid the wing area (rows 10-20) for an unobstructed view of the French coastline.
