Which side of the plane to sit from Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (Tallinn-ulemiste International) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Baltic coast, across the high peaks of the Swiss Alps, to the iconic red-rock coastline of the French Riviera.
Estonian Archipelago
Panoramic views of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa islands dotting the Baltic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Berlin & Munich
Distant views of major German metropolitan areas and the sprawling Bavarian landscape.
Swiss & French Alps
Spectacular close-up views of the Bernese Oberland and the Mont Blanc massif as you cross into France.
Cannes & Antibes
Aerial perspective of the luxury marinas, the Lérins Islands, and the Cap d'Antibes during the arrival sequence.
Esterel Massif
The striking contrast of the volcanic red rock mountains meeting the turquoise Mediterranean water.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to minimize sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes before landing for the high-altitude Alpine glaciers, and then again during the 'Riviera Approach' into Nice, which is world-renowned for its coastal scenery.
Tallinn Old Town
Aerial view of the medieval fortifications and Toompea Hill immediately after departure from TLL.
Masurian Lake District
A vast network of over 2,000 lakes nestled within the dense forests of northeastern Poland.
Austrian Alps
Stunning views of the Eastern Alps, including the Hohe Tauern range and potentially the Grossglockner on clear days.
Nice City Center
Detailed views of the Promenade des Anglais and the Old Port during the final descent into NCE.
Sit on the left for the best views of Tallinn's skyline during the initial climb. On the descent, the left side provides an excellent perspective of the city of Nice itself as the plane banks over the Baie des Anges for landing.
