Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high peaks of the Greater Caucasus, including Mount Elbrus, and a spectacular approach into Milan featuring the Alps and Lake Maggiore.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Greater Caucasus

Spectacular views of Europe's highest peaks, including the twin-coned Mount Elbrus.

🏖️

Black Sea Coast

A beautiful transition from the Georgian coastline into the deep blue of the Black Sea.

⛰️

Carpathian Mountains

The dramatic arc of the Carpathians stretching across Romania and Central Europe.

❄️

The Italian Alps

Unforgettable views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers during the descent into Malpensa.

💧

Lake Maggiore

A stunning pre-alpine lake located just north of the airport, often visible during the landing pattern.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the northern faces of the Caucasus. During the descent into MXP, keep your camera ready for the Monte Rosa massif; it is one of the most iconic sights in the Alps and appears very close to the flight path.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

Vast stretches of golden sand and red earth shortly after departure from Tashkent.

🌊

Southern Caspian Sea

The deep blue expanse of the world's largest inland sea as you cross toward the Caucasus.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged karst mountain landscapes visible across the Balkan Peninsula.

🇮🇹

Po Valley

The lush, fertile plains of Northern Italy and the winding Po River on the final approach.

On daytime flights, the sun will be on the left (southern) side, which can cause significant glare. Keep your window shade partially closed to maintain cabin temperature but open it for the descent into Italy as the landscape turns lush and green.
