Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior as it typically provides the iconic aerial view of Venice city and its canals shortly after takeoff, followed by a panoramic approach into Edinburgh featuring the Castle and Arthur's Seat.

Venice Historic Center
Unmatched views of the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square, and the distinctive S-shape of the city immediately after departure.
The Dolomites
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Italian Alps as the plane climbs toward Northern Europe.
Rhine Gorge
A glimpse of the winding Rhine River and its many medieval castles if the flight path tracks over Western Germany.
Scottish Borders
Rolling green hills and the rugged landscape of Southern Scotland as you begin the final descent.
Edinburgh City Skyline
If landing on Runway 24, get a front-row seat to Edinburgh Castle, the Old Town, and the extinct volcano Arthur's Seat.
Book a seat in front of the wing for the best view of Venice's canals. For the Edinburgh approach, morning flights offer the best lighting on the city's stone architecture. Note that views of Venice depend on the wind-dictated takeoff direction (Runway 22 is ideal).

The intricate network of the world's largest ports and the massive sea defenses of the Netherlands.
North Sea Coastline
The dramatic cliffs of Northumberland and the Farne Islands as the plane tracks north toward the Firth of Forth.
The Forth Bridges
The iconic UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge and its modern counterparts are clearly visible when descending from the east.
