Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic scenery in Europe, including the highest peaks of the Alps and the stunning crescent of Lake Geneva.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Apuan Alps

The jagged marble-rich peaks of Tuscany located just north of Pisa airport.

🏔️

Mont Blanc Massif

A spectacular view of Europe's highest peak and the surrounding glaciers.

💧

Lake Geneva

The massive, crescent-shaped alpine lake spanning between Switzerland and France.

⛪

Beauvais Cathedral

The towering Gothic structure in Beauvais, visible during the final moments before touchdown.

This is the premier side for mountain lovers. For the best view of Mont Blanc, look out about 30 to 40 minutes after takeoff. Try to sit in the front or rear of the cabin (avoid rows 12-22) so the wing doesn't obstruct your view of the massive Alpine glaciers. Morning flights provide the most vibrant lighting on the mountain faces.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Ligurian Coastline

Breathtaking views of the Italian Riviera and the turquoise waters of the Ligurian Sea shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Massif des Écrins

The western edges of the Alps featuring deep valleys and rugged, snow-capped peaks.

🍇

Rhône Valley

The sprawling vineyards and meandering river paths of the famous French wine region.

🗼

Paris Skyline

On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense are visible on the horizon during descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight to catch the colorful villages of the Cinque Terre along the coast. During winter months, this side offers beautiful sunset views over central France.
