RHOCDG

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular panoramic views of the Cyclades islands shortly after takeoff and provides the most direct vantage point for the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps, including Mont Blanc, during the descent phase.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Cyclades Archipelago

Stunning views of the white-and-blue islands like Mykonos and Tinos scattered across the Aegean.

⛰️

Pindus Mountains

The dramatic 'Spine of Greece' featuring rugged peaks and deep forested gorges.

🛶

Adriatic Horizon

Clear views toward the Dalmatian coast of Croatia and the sparkling Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Swiss-French Alps

The highlight of the route, featuring jagged peaks and glaciers near the Mont Blanc massif.

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

Geometric patterns of world-famous wine estates as the aircraft begins its approach to Paris.

The Alps appear roughly 2 hours into the flight; stay alert as the aircraft crosses from Italy into France. Use a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountain ranges which are best illuminated during morning and midday flights.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Dodecanese Islands

Aerial views of Symi and the rugged Turkish coastline immediately after departing Rhodos.

🏛️

Peloponnese Peninsula

The deep blue gulfs and historic coastlines of southern Greece as you cross the Ionian Sea.

🇮🇹

Tyrrhenian Coastline

Views of the Italian 'boot' near Rome and the sparkling waters of the western Mediterranean.

🏔️

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic plateaus and green valleys of central France during the final hour of flight.

Choose a seat toward the rear of the aircraft to capture the Mediterranean sunset if flying in the late afternoon. This side is also excellent for spotting the Italian coast near Fiumicino if the flight path tracks slightly south.
