STN → AOI
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Ancona Falconara Airport (Ancona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior panoramic views of the highest Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, and provides a better perspective of the Italian Apennine range during the descent into Ancona.

Paris Suburbs
Depending on the corridor, the outskirts of the French capital may be visible.
Mont Blanc
Europe's highest peak often stands out prominently on the western horizon.
Po Valley
The geometric patterns of Italy's agricultural heartland stretching toward the horizon.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'backbone' of Italy provides a dramatic backdrop during the descent phase.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. Look for the distinct peak of Mont Blanc roughly an hour into the flight. This side also offers a great view of the rolling hills of the Marche region just before touchdown.

English Channel
Clear views of the crossing between the UK and France shortly after departure.
Swiss Alps
Stunning vistas of the central Swiss mountain ranges and glacial valleys.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake are often visible to the east.
Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the Adriatic Sea as the aircraft turns for its final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes after takeoff for the best mountain shots. During the final descent, watch for the white pebble beaches of the Riviera del Conero just south of Ancona.
