Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its proximity to the heart of the Alps and Dolomites, offering dramatic mountain scenery for nearly half the flight.

The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Italian Dolomites shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Swiss Alps
Direct views of some of Europe's highest peaks, potentially including Mont Blanc or the Matterhorn depending on the route.
French Countryside
The neatly organized vineyards and rolling hills of eastern France and the Champagne region.
Thames Estuary
View the massive container ports and the winding mouth of the Thames as you enter UK airspace.
The right side is the 'Alpine' side. For the best views of the mountains, book a seat away from the wing (rows 1-10 or 25+). Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the Dolomites. In winter, late afternoon flights provide beautiful shadows on the snow-covered peaks.

Istrian Coastline
Stunning views of the rugged Croatian coast and the sapphire blue Adriatic Sea immediately after takeoff.
Venetian Lagoon
Look south to spot the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands floating in the Adriatic.
Southern Alpine Ridges
Distant views of the snowy peaks of the Italian and Swiss Alps bordering the northern horizon.
Central London
During the Heathrow approach, enjoy a prime view of the London Eye, The Shard, and the River Thames.
The left side is the 'London side.' If Heathrow is landing towards the west (the most common pattern), passengers on the left often get a panoramic view of the London Eye, Big Ben, and the Shard. Sit on the left to avoid direct southern sun glare during morning flights.
