Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides are scenic, the right side provides a superior vantage point for Lake Geneva and the majestic Mont Blanc massif, the highest peak in Europe, during the Alpine crossing.

Lake Geneva
The stunning crescent-shaped Lac Léman with the city of Geneva visible at its southern tip.
Mont Blanc
The 'Roof of Europe' standing at 4,807m, offering breathtaking views of the Aiguille du Midi and surrounding glaciers.
Gran Paradiso
The rugged peaks of Italy's first national park, featuring dramatic rock faces and deep valleys.
Turin Cityscape
As the plane banks for landing, you may see the Mole Antonelliana and the Juventus Stadium.
Book a window seat behind the wing for the best unobstructed views of the Alps. The transition from the flat French plains to the vertical Jura and Alpine ranges is rapid; be ready about 60-70 minutes after takeoff. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the snow-capped peaks in golden hues.

Strait of Dover
Aerial views of the narrowest part of the English Channel and the ferry routes between Dover and Calais.
Champagne Vineyards
Rolling hills and structured vine rows of the Grand Est region near Reims and Épernay.
Monte Rosa Massif
On the approach to Turin, look east to spot the second-highest peak in the Alps and its sprawling glaciers.
Po Valley
The geometric patterns of Northern Italy's fertile plains as the aircraft descends toward Turin.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare while still capturing the Swiss Alps' horizon. Keep an eye out for the distinct pyramid shape of the Matterhorn (Cervino) in the distance to the north-east as you enter Italian airspace.
