Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Tyrrhenian Coastline

Dramatic views of the Calabrian and Campanian cliffs meeting the deep blue sea shortly after takeoff.

πŸ›οΈ

Lazio & Rome

Aerial perspective of the Italian capital region and the volcanic lakes of Bracciano and Bolsena.

πŸ”οΈ

Bernese Alps

Stunning views of the Swiss giants including the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross Central Europe.

🌲

The Black Forest

Dense evergreen canopies and rolling hills of southwestern Germany's most famous forest range.

πŸ™οΈ

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are visible to the west during the cruise phase over Hessen.

Book a seat on the left side for afternoon flights to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the Alps. Look out immediately after takeoff for a sweep of the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia. During mid-flight, keep your camera ready for the high-altitude glaciers of Switzerland which remain snow-capped even in summer.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Sila National Park

The 'Green Heart of Calabria' with its vast pine forests and high-altitude lakes visible shortly after departure.

πŸ”οΈ

Austrian & Swiss Border Alps

A continuous chain of jagged peaks and deep glacial valleys stretching toward the eastern horizon.

πŸ’§

Lake Constance

The massive Bodensee where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland converge, often shimmering under the sun.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The northernmost German range, featuring the legendary Brocken peak, visible during the descent into Hannover.

🚜

Lower Saxony Basin

The geometric patterns of northern German agriculture and red-roofed villages typical of the region.

The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Watch for Lake Constance roughly 75 minutes into the flight; it is a massive landmark that is hard to miss. During the final 20 minutes of flight, the Harz Mountains provide a beautiful transition from the central highlands to the northern plains.
