Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a breathtaking perspective of the highest Swiss peaks and glaciers, including the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, shortly after takeoff from Turin.
Matterhorn and Monte Rosa
Get a close-up look at these iconic jagged peaks in the Pennine Alps as you climb north from Turin.
Aletsch Glacier
See the massive river of ice snaking through the Swiss Bernese Alps from a high-altitude perspective.
Lake Geneva
Glimpse the eastern tip of the crescent-shaped lake and the surrounding Swiss Riviera.
Luxembourg City
Look for the distinctive fortifications and deep river gorges of the Grand Duchy's capital midway through the flight.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun lights up the Alpine peaks from the east. The most dramatic scenery occurs within the first 20 minutes of flight. Have your camera ready immediately as you clear the clouds above the Po Valley for the high Alps.
Mont Blanc
Witness the towering granite massif of Europe's highest peak on the horizon to the west.
Jura Mountains
Observe the parallel ridges and deep valleys of this ancient range near the French-Swiss border.
Champagne Region
Fly over the rolling vineyards and historic towns of eastern France's most famous wine province.
Waterloo Lion's Mound
Spot the conical monument marking the site of the historic 1815 battle just south of Brussels.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. The view of Mont Blanc is the highlight, appearing roughly 10 minutes after departure. On clear days, the descent into Brussels offers a great view of the Waterloo monument south of the city.
