Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the high Swiss Alps, the dramatic coastline of the Italian Riviera, and an extended view of the rugged Corsican mountains before the final approach into Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Spectacular views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau.

⛵

Genoa & Liguria

The crescent-shaped coast of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port of Genoa.

⛰️

Corsica Traverse

An incredible longitudinal view of the 'Island of Beauty' and its dramatic granite mountain spine.

🏖️

Costa Smeralda

The famous 'Emerald Coast' of Sardinia with its turquoise coves and luxury resorts visible during descent.

The right side is unbeatable for Alpine photography. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Corsican mountains. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the dramatic transition from the snowy Alps to the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Berlin Skyline

A sprawling view of the German capital and the TV Tower shortly after departure if taking off to the east.

🏔️

Hohe Tauern

Distant views of the eastern Austrian Alps, including the majestic Grossglockner massif.

🍷

Tuscan Coastline

Vistas of the Italian mainland including the port of Livorno and the rolling hills of Tuscany.

🏝️

Isle of Elba

The historic island where Napoleon was exiled, visible as a gem in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🚢

Gulf of Olbia

Views of the industrial port and the crystalline waters of the inner gulf during the final turn for landing.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly good for spotting the Italian mainland and the smaller islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of Tavolara Island rising from the sea.
