Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior initial view of Lake Garda immediately after departure and provides a breathtaking panorama of the Western Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif, followed by a scenic crossing of the English Channel.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏞️

Lake Garda

Exceptional views of Italy's largest lake and its mountainous northern shoreline right after takeoff from Verona.

🏔️

Mont Blanc Massif

Stunning views of the highest peak in the Alps and the surrounding glaciers as you cross the French-Swiss border.

🌊

English Channel

Clear views of the coastline transition from France towards the White Cliffs of Dover area.

🗼

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the distant sprawl of the French capital is visible to the west mid-flight.

🐎

Cheshire Plain

The final descent offers a lush green tapestry of the English countryside just south of Manchester.

Sit on the left for the best view of Lake Garda upon departure. For morning flights, this side is shaded, which is ideal for photography. Keep an eye out for the dramatic change in terrain from the jagged Alps to the flat plains of Northern France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Central Alps

A continuous vista of snow-capped Swiss peaks and deep glacial valleys throughout the first third of the flight.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet is often visible to the northeast.

🏰

Luxembourg & Benelux

Views of the dense urban centers and historic landscapes of central Europe.

🎡

London Skyline

If the flight path takes a southerly route into the UK, you can spot the O2 Arena and the City of London skyscrapers.

⛰️

Peak District

As the plane banks for its final approach into MAN, the rugged moorlands of the Peak District appear to the east.

The right side is excellent for viewing the high Swiss Alps. If the flight arrives in the late afternoon, the low sun can provide dramatic lighting over the Peak District during landing, but be prepared for glare during the cruise phase.
