Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Western Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc, and provides a spectacular approach over the rugged Apennine peaks and the Gran Sasso massif.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🗼

Distant Paris

On clear days, the sprawl of the French capital is often visible in the distance to the southwest.

🏔️

Mont Blanc Massif

Europe's highest peak often stands out prominently during the transit across the French-Italian border.

⛰️

The Apennines

The rugged spine of Italy offers dramatic limestone ridges and deep green valleys as you fly south.

🦅

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The highest peak in the Apennines provides a stunning landmark during the final approach into Abruzzo.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic mountain scenery. The highlight is the Gran Sasso massif just before landing; try to book an afternoon flight for the best light on these mountains. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Apennines are particularly photogenic.

🌊

The English Channel

Clear views of the narrowest part of the Dover Strait and the French coastline near Calais.

🏔️

Swiss-Italian Alps

Breathtaking views of the central Alpine chain with numerous snow-capped peaks and glaciers.

🚤

Adriatic Riviera

As the plane turns south, the coastline near Rimini and Ancona becomes visible against the blue sea.

🏙️

Po Valley

The dense network of Italian towns and the winding Po River cutting through the Lombardy plains.

Look out for the white cliffs of the English coast shortly after takeoff. During the descent, the left side provides the best view of the Adriatic Sea as the aircraft aligns with the runway at Pescara. For morning flights, glare may be an issue on this side.
