Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transit from the Mediterranean coast through the high Swiss Alps and the picturesque Rhine river valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Tyrrhenian Coast

Panoramic views of the Italian mainland, including the Tuscan archipelago and Elba Island.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Spectacular views of the Bernese Oberland and the massive Aletsch Glacier, the largest in the Alps.

💧

Lake Constance

The vast 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, clearly visible from high altitude.

🌲

Black Forest

The iconic, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany spanning the horizon.

🏰

Rhine River

The winding path of one of Europe's most historic rivers as it flows toward the Dutch border.

This is the ideal side for morning flights to avoid the sun. The Alpine crossing usually occurs 50-70 minutes into the flight; keep your window shade up to catch the transition from sea to high peaks.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
🏝️

Egadi Islands

Immediate views of Favignana and Levanzo's turquoise waters right after takeoff from Trapani.

⛰️

Corsica

The rugged, mountainous spine of the French island rising sharply from the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏔️

Western Alps

Snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the Valais region, including potential views of the Matterhorn.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

The rolling green hills and dense woodlands stretching across Belgium and Luxembourg during the descent.

Sit on the left to capture the Sicilian coastline immediately. During late afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, potentially creating significant glare over the Alps.
