Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views of the Central Alps' highest peaks and a spectacular perspective of the Rhine Valley during the final descent into Cologne.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Italian Archipelago

Aerial views of Elba and smaller islands scattered across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

โ„๏ธ

Swiss High Alps

Breathtaking perspectives of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mรถnch peaks covered in perennial snow.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Constance

The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

๐Ÿฐ

Rhine Valley

The winding Rhine River and the scenic Siebengebirge hills during the approach to Cologne.

This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep your camera ready about an hour into the flight for the most dramatic Alpine photography. During the descent, look for the Drachenfels castle ruins near Bonn.
