Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is exceptional for its direct views of Lake Constance and a spectacular descent over Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands before landing at Malpensa.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌳

Thuringian Forest

Dense green ridges of the Thuringian Forest and the southern German highlands early in the flight.

⛴️

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive body of water where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often crossed directly or bypassed to the west.

🏔️

Swiss Alps Panorama

Panoramic views of the high Swiss peaks, including the Glarus Alps and Central Swiss massifs.

🏝️

Lake Maggiore

The definitive highlight of the flight; a low-altitude pass over the lake and the famous Borromean Islands during the approach to MXP.

⛳

Ticino River Valley

The lush green valley and winding river leading directly into the Malpensa airport vicinity.

Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective of Lake Maggiore. During winter, the snow-capped Swiss Alps on this side are breathtaking. Aim for an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the lake islands during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
🏙️

Berlin-Brandenburg Outskirts

Aerial view of the southern suburbs of Berlin and the Brandenburg countryside immediately after takeoff.

🏟️

Munich & Allianz Arena

On a clear day, the glowing white Allianz Arena and the urban sprawl of Munich are visible to the east.

🏔️

Tyrolian Alps

Views of the high jagged peaks of the Austrian Alps including parts of the Zillertal range.

💎

Lake Como

As the flight crosses into Italy, the distinctive 'Y' shape of Lake Como appears nestled in the mountains.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is also better for catching the sunrise on early departures. Watch for the Dolomites in the far distance during the middle segment of the cruise.
