Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the highest Alpine peaks, including the Valais giants, followed by a stunning longitudinal view of the rugged western coastlines of Corsica and Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Incredible views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs shortly after departure.

🏔️

The Matterhorn

Spot the iconic pyramid-shaped peak of the Matterhorn and the surrounding 4,000m summits of the Valais.

🏖️

French & Italian Riviera

The sparkling coastline where the Alps meet the Mediterranean near Nice and Monaco.

🏝️

Corsica & Sardinia

A lengthy view of the wild western coastlines and mountainous interiors of these two major islands.

🏰

Cape Bon Peninsula

The northeastern tip of Tunisia, featuring ancient fortifications and olive groves during descent.

The right side is the scenic winner for island spotting. For the best lighting on the Alps, book a flight departing in the early to mid-afternoon. Keep your camera ready as you approach the Tunisian coast for a perfect shot of the Mediterranean meeting the North African landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Dramatic views of the Glarus and Uri Alps shortly after takeoff from Zurich.

🏙️

Milan & Po Valley

Aerial perspective of the Lombardy capital and the vast, flat agricultural plains of Northern Italy.

⚓

Port of Genoa

Visual of Italy's largest commercial port and the dense urban sprawl of the Ligurian coast.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Deep blue waters as the flight bypasses the eastern side of the Mediterranean islands.

🏖️

Gulf of Hammamet

The sandy crescent of the Tunisian coast as the plane turns for its final approach to NBE.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the first 20 minutes as you clear the Swiss plateau and enter the heart of the Alps.
