Which side of the plane to sit from Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Italian Lake District and the high-altitude glacial peaks of the Swiss Alps, typically benefiting from more consistent lighting during the day.
Gulf of Trieste
Immediate views of the Adriatic coastline and the Monfalcone shipyards after takeoff.
Lake Garda
A magnificent view of Italy's largest lake, including the narrow northern reaches and the Sirmione peninsula.
Bernese Oberland
On clear days, the iconic trio of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks are visible in the distance.
Vosges Mountains
The lush, rounded peaks of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Natural Park in Eastern France.
Citadel of Namur
As the plane descends into Belgium, the historic fortress at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers appears.
Choose the left side for morning or midday flights to avoid harsh southern glare. The view of Lake Garda is often the highlight; it appears roughly 15-20 minutes after departure. Seasonal snow cover on the Alps is most dramatic from December to April.
Julian Alps
Rugged limestone peaks including Triglav, the highest point in Slovenia, visible shortly after departure.
High Tauern Range
Stunning views of the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner and its surrounding glaciers.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' which serves as a natural border between Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
The Rhine River
Aerial views of the winding Rhine as it flows through the industrial heart of the Upper Rhine Plain.
Luxembourg City
The distinct geography of the Alzette river valley and the city's historic fortifications.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. This side offers the best views of the Austrian and German Alpine foothills. Keep an eye out for the distinctive tri-border area near Lake Constance about halfway through the flight.
