Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic features, including the highest peaks of the Apennines immediately after takeoff and the massive glaciated peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, midway through the flight.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The highest peak in the Apennines, visible shortly after departing Pescara.

🏙️

Po Valley

The vast, flat agricultural plains of Northern Italy and the urban sprawl of Milan.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The iconic snowy summit of the highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe.

💧

Lake Geneva

The massive, crescent-shaped blue expanse of Lac Léman on the border of France and Switzerland.

🍾

Champagne Vineyards

The rolling chalky hills of the Marne department as you approach the destination.

This is the best side for mountain lovers. For the most dramatic Alpine views, aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the southern faces of the peaks. Sit forward or aft of the wing for an unobstructed view of Lake Geneva, which appears roughly 50-60 minutes into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏞️

Tuscan Landscapes

Rolling hills and the distinct geography of the Italian interior as the plane crosses the peninsula.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

A distant view of the Mediterranean coastline and the port city of Genoa as you head northwest.

🏔️

Western Alps

The rugged terrain of the French-Italian border, featuring the Écrins National Park.

🍷

Burgundy Region

The patchwork of world-famous vineyards and rural landscapes in central-eastern France.

🗼

Paris Cityscape

A distant view of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré-Cœur on the horizon during the descent into Beauvais.

The left side is preferable for late afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset over the French countryside. During the descent toward Beauvais, look toward the southwest; if the air is clear, the landmarks of Paris are often visible on the horizon roughly 15-20 minutes before landing.
