Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic sections of the Alps, including the Hohe Tauern range and the jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Grossglockner

Views of Austria's highest peak and the surrounding glaciers of the Hohe Tauern National Park.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The striking UNESCO-listed limestone massifs and jagged spires of the Italian South Tyrol.

💧

Lake Garda

The narrow, fjord-like northern tip of Italy's largest lake tucked between steep mountains.

🍷

Tuscan Apennines

The transition from the high Alps into the rolling, vineyard-covered hills of northern Tuscany.

The right side is essential for alpine enthusiasts. For the best photography of the Dolomites, book a flight in the mid-to-late afternoon when the sun hits the western rock faces, creating a warm 'Enrosadira' glow. Try to get a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the mountain peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Styrian Alps

Rolling green hills and forested peaks of the southern Austrian mountain ranges.

🚤

Venetian Lagoon

A distant but distinct view of the Adriatic coast and the unique islands surrounding Venice.

🏛️

Florence City Center

On the final approach into Peretola, the left side often captures the iconic Duomo and Arno River.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is also superior for spotting the historic center of Florence during the final banking maneuvers before landing at Peretola, especially if the plane approaches from the north.
