Our Recommendation
9.1

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean views, the right side provides an unparalleled vantage point of the historic center of Venice and the intricate lagoon systems during the final approach into Marco Polo Airport.

Right Side Highlights
9.1
📍

Cape Bon

The dramatic northern tip of Tunisia as the aircraft leaves the African continent.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The 'spine' of Italy featuring rolling hills and limestone ridges cutting through the center of the peninsula.

🛶

Venice Historic Center

The iconic 'fish' shape of Venice, including the Grand Canal and St. Mark's Square, visible during the final descent.

🚤

Venetian Lagoon

A patchwork of islands like Murano and Burano set against the shallow greenish-blue waters of the lagoon.

🏖️

Lido di Venezia

The long, thin barrier island that separates the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.

The right side is essential for the 'Venice arrival' experience. Most arrivals follow a path that circles south of the city before heading north into VCE, placing the historic center directly out the right window. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the terracotta roofs of the city.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Tunis

Panoramic views of the turquoise waters and the ancient ruins of Carthage shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Clear views of Elba Island and the rugged coastline of western Italy as the flight heads north.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Italian Alps appear on the horizon during the descent.

Choose a seat forward of the wing to capture the contrast between the deep blue Mediterranean and the Tuscan islands. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, reducing glare for photography of the Italian coastline.
