Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the historic Venice city center upon departure and the most dramatic, jagged sections of the Dolomites and the Austrian Alps during the cruise.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🎭

Venice Historic Center

The unique S-shaped Grand Canal and the iconic St. Mark's Square are often visible right after takeoff.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Spectacular views of the UNESCO-listed limestone massifs, including the Marmolada and Tre Cime di Lavaredo.

❄️

Grossglockner Range

Views toward Austria's highest peak and the expansive Pasterze Glacier.

🌊

Bavarian Lake District

Large alpine lakes like Chiemsee are frequently visible during the transition into German airspace.

🌳

Spessart Nature Park

One of Germany's largest contiguous mixed-leaf forests, looking vibrant during autumn or spring.

Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight for Venice and the Dolomites. In winter, the snow-capped Alpine peaks are exceptionally sharp and clear. This side can be quite bright on midday flights, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.

Left Side Highlights

πŸ›₯️

Venetian Lagoon

Aerial perspective of the marshy islands and the intricate waterways surrounding northern Venice.

πŸ”οΈ

Γ–tztal Alps

Glaciated peaks and high-altitude ridges near the Italian-Austrian border.

🌲

Odenwald Forest

Dense, rolling green hills of south-central Germany as the aircraft begins its final descent.

πŸ™οΈ

Frankfurt Skyline

Depending on the landing direction, a clear view of Germany's tallest skyscrapers and the Main River.

Morning flights are best for the left side to keep the sun behind the aircraft, reducing glare on the window. On approach to FRA, a seat in front of the wing provides the clearest view of the city's banking district.
