Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic contrast between the Swiss Jura mountains and the French Vosges, providing a scenic cross-border panorama.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Jura Mountains

Look down to see the distinct limestone ridges and deep valleys of the Jura range marking the border.

🏙️

Basel Cityscape

A clear view of the Rhine river's sharp northern turn and the urban sprawl of this tri-national hub.

🌲

Vosges Natural Park

The rounded, forested peaks of the 'Ballons des Vosges' in eastern France dominate the horizon.

🏰

Alsatian Plains

A patchwork of colorful fields and historic villages nestled between the mountains and the Rhine.

Sit on the left for the best view of the Jura mountains shortly after takeoff. In the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, lighting up the Vosges peaks and the Alsace plains beautifully.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests of southwestern Germany stretching as far as the eye can see.

🌊

Rhine River Valley

The wide, flat rift valley that serves as a major European transport corridor and natural border.

⛪

Freiburg im Breisgau

Spot the famous cathedral spire and the gateway to the southern Black Forest highlands.

🍇

Moselle Vineyards

Steep, terraced vineyards and river loops visible during the final approach into Luxembourg.

Choose the right side for morning departures to see the sunrise over the Black Forest. As you descend into LUX, look for the winding Moselle River and the steep vineyard terraces typical of the region.
