TRN → STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer a spectacular crossing of the Alps immediately after takeoff, the right side provides a more expansive view of the high Pennine Alps, Lake Geneva, and the scenic French-Swiss border regions.

The Pennine Alps
Breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa shortly after departing Turin.
Lake Geneva
The entire crescent of Lac Léman, with Geneva and Lausanne visible along the shoreline.
Jura Mountains
Dense forests and limestone ridges marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Champagne Vineyards
Aerial views of the historic chalky slopes near Reims and Épernay.
Thames Estuary
Watch for the massive container ships and the London Array offshore wind farm in the North Sea.
The right side is superior for Alpine photography, as you'll see the Matterhorn and the massive expanse of Lake Geneva. For the best lighting on the mountains, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you (facing West).

Just after departure, look out for the highest peak in the Alps and the rugged peaks of the Graian Alps.
Burgundy Region
Vast stretches of world-famous vineyards around Dijon and the rolling hills of central France.
Distant Paris
On clear days, the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of Paris may be visible to the west.
The English Channel
The crossing from the French coast towards the chalky cliffs of East Sussex or Kent.
London Cityscape
During the descent into Stansted, catch views of the Shard, Canary Wharf, and the winding River Thames.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the London skyline during the final descent, especially if the plane approaches from the south. Early morning flights offer beautiful soft light on the French countryside.
