Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the Italian heartland, including the potential for a spectacular flyover of Rome and Florence, followed by the iconic Matterhorn and Lake Geneva in the Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Calabrian Apennines

Aerial views of the 'toe' of Italy, featuring the wild, mountainous terrain of the Sila National Park.

🏛️

Rome & Vatican City

A highlights of the trip; look for the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica if the flight path follows the Italian coast.

🍇

Tuscan Countryside

The rolling hills, vineyards, and historic cities like Florence and Siena are visible during the cruise phase.

🏔️

The Matterhorn

Look for the iconic pyramid-shaped peak as you cross into Switzerland, often accompanied by views of Lake Geneva.

🚢

Thames Estuary

The industrial beauty of the Thames, including the QEII Bridge and the sprawling London Gateway port during descent.

The right side is ideal for landmark spotting over Italy. To see Rome, the plane must be on a slightly inland trajectory; keep your eyes peeled roughly 45 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights provide warm, golden light over the Alps.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea Coast

Views of the rugged Calabrian coastline and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Mont Blanc & Western Alps

A stunning panorama of the highest peak in Europe and the jagged, snow-capped massifs of the French-Italian border.

🗼

Greater Paris

On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and the distinctive silhouette of the Eiffel Tower can be spotted in the distance.

🐚

The English Channel

Watch the busy shipping lanes and the dramatic transition from the French coast to the British Isles.

🏢

London Skyline

A distant but clear view of the Shard and the City of London as the plane turns toward Stansted.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is particularly good for spotting the White Cliffs of Dover as you cross the Channel into UK airspace.
