Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an immediate and breathtaking view of Lake Garda upon departure, followed by a majestic sweep of the Central Alps and the lush Black Forest region.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Lake Garda

Stunning aerial views of Italy's largest lake and the Sirmione peninsula shortly after takeoff from Verona.

🏔️

Swiss & Austrian Alps

A continuous panorama of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses the alpine spine toward Germany.

🌲

The Black Forest

Expansive views of the dense evergreen canopies and rolling hills of southwestern Germany.

🚢

Rotterdam Harbor

On the final approach, look for the massive industrial shipping lanes and cranes of Europe's largest port.

Choose the left side for afternoon departures to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for photography of Lake Garda. This side is also superior for spotting the distinctive patchwork of the Dutch polders during the descent into Schiphol.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
⛰️

The Dolomites

The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps are visible to the northeast during the initial climb.

💧

Lake Constance

A vast blue expanse where the borders of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland converge at the foot of the Alps.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Views of the high-rise financial district and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs during the mid-flight cruise.

🚤

Markermeer

The iconic Dutch dykes and the vast inland sea are frequently visible if the approach pattern circles north of Amsterdam.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. If the plane lands on the Polderbaan (Runway 18R/36L), the right side often provides a distant view of the Amsterdam city center and its concentric canal rings.
