Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer a breathtaking crossing of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for its views of the Tuscan interior, the Bavarian plains, and the spectacular archipelago of the Danish islands and the Øresund Bridge during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Tuscan Landscape

Aerial views of the rolling hills and historic vineyards of northern Tuscany and the Apennine foothills.

🧊

Austrian Alps

Deep views into the jagged limestone peaks and turquoise alpine lakes of the Central Eastern Alps.

🥨

Munich & Bavaria

The sprawl of the Bavarian capital and the green patchwork of the German countryside extending toward the horizon.

🌉

Great Belt Bridge

A stunning view of the massive bridge connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand.

🎡

Copenhagen & Øresund

Visuals of the Danish capital and the famous Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Malmö, Sweden.

The right side is unbeatable for the approach into the Gothenburg area. On clear days, the transition from the Danish islands across the Kattegat sea into the Swedish archipelago is visually stunning. Use a polarizing filter for photos to cut through the sea haze near the Baltic entrance.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Apuan Alps

Immediately after takeoff, witness the striking white marble quarries of Carrara in the Italian coastal range.

🏔️

Swiss-Italian Alps

A dramatic crossing of the high peaks near the St. Gotthard Pass, offering views of glaciers and deep valleys.

🌊

Lake Constance

View the western reaches of the Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🌲

The Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and the legendary Brocken peak.

⚓

Port of Hamburg

As you head north, the massive industrial layout of one of Europe's largest ports is often visible near the Elbe river.

Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying north, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is particularly good for spotting the rugged textures of the Swiss Alps without glare. Keep a lookout approximately 15 minutes after takeoff for the marble mountains of Tuscany.
