Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it provides a direct view of the highest Austrian peaks, including the Grossglockner, and offers the most iconic views of the Venetian lagoon and the Prague city skyline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Lido di Venezia

The long, thin barrier islands separating the Venetian Lagoon from the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Tre Cime di Lavaredo

The iconic three peaks of the Dolomites, one of the most famous mountain formations in the world.

🏔️

Grossglockner Peak

Austria's highest mountain and its massive Pasterze glacier are visible in the heart of the Hohe Tauern range.

💧

Salzkammergut Lakes

Deep blue Alpine lakes like Wolfgangsee and Attersee surrounded by steep green mountains near Salzburg.

🌊

The Danube River

The silver ribbon of the Danube is visible as the flight crosses near the city of Linz.

🏰

Prague City Center

During the descent, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, and the Prague Castle complex.

The right side is essential for seeing the Grossglockner, which is the scenic highlight of the route. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the engine against the backdrop of the Austrian glaciers. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Alpine peaks on this side.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🛶

Venice Historic Center

A stunning bird's-eye view of the Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal immediately after departure if the wind favors a southern takeoff.

🏔️

Marmolada Glacier

The highest peak in the Dolomites, recognizable by its white glacier contrasting against the grey limestone.

🏙️

Innsbruck & Wipp Valley

Aerial views of the Tyrolean capital nestled deeply within the sheer walls of the Alps.

🏟️

Munich & Allianz Arena

On clear days, the glowing white ring of the Bayern Munich stadium is visible as you pass the Bavarian border.

🌲

Šumava National Park

The 'Green Roof of Europe' marks the transition from Germany into the Czech Republic with its vast, dense forests.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for the best views of the Venetian lagoon. As you cross the Alps, the left side offers a better perspective of the jagged western limestone massifs.
