Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is favored for its perspective on the iconic High Alps glaciers, a direct view of Lake Garda, and the rolling Renaissance landscapes of Tuscany.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Prague Cityscape

Depending on the exact flight path, the 'City of a Hundred Spires' can be seen shortly after departure.

❄️

High Alps Glaciers

Spectacular views of the Grossglockner and the permanent snowfields of the Austrian Alps.

💧

Lake Garda

The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake, framed by steep cliffs and the Sirmione peninsula.

⚜️

Florence & Arno River

The unmistakable terracotta dome of the Duomo and the bridges of the Arno are identifiable to the west.

🍷

Tuscan Countryside

The classic patchwork of olive groves, vineyards, and cypress-lined roads of the Chianti region.

🏟️

Rome Perimeter

During the final descent into Ciampino, catch glimpses of the historic Appian Way and ancient Roman ruins.

For the best views of the Alps, the right side is unbeatable. In the morning, the light illuminates the mountains perfectly. Aim for a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of Lake Garda, which usually appears roughly 60 minutes into the flight. If the plane approaches Rome from the north, you may also see the Tyrrhenian Sea in the distance.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏔️

Sudetes Mountains

Aerial view of the Śnieżka peak and the rugged border region between Poland and Czechia.

🏘️

Moravia Region

The red-roofed clusters of Brno and the surrounding vineyards of South Moravia.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Dramatic, jagged limestone formations of the Eastern Alps as you enter Italian airspace.

🛶

Venice Lagoon

The distinctive 'S' curve of the Grand Canal and the surrounding islands are often visible to the east.

🌊

Adriatic Coast

The sparkling coastline stretching from the Po Delta down towards the city of Ancona.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side is particularly rewarding for spotting the white peaks of the Dolomites. Keep an eye out about 45 minutes after takeoff for the transition from the flat plains of Central Europe into the dramatic alpine terrain.
