Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the stunning Dalmatian Coast archipelago and the sharp, dramatic peaks of the Eastern Alps and Dolomites.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

An incredible sequence of hundreds of Croatian islands set against turquoise waters.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Spectacular views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps.

🍇

Alsace-Lorraine

The patchwork of vineyards and historic towns along the French-German border.

🚢

Port of Zeebrugge

Visible as the flight crosses the North Sea or the narrowest part of the Channel.

⛰️

Peak District

Rugged moorlands and green valleys of northern England during the final descent.

Sit here for the best coastline views during the first half of the flight. For the best photography of the Croatian islands, ensure your flight is in the morning or early afternoon to avoid direct sun glare. On the final approach to LBA, this side often sees the city of Leeds if landing on Runway 32.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Cephalonia & Ithaca

Bird's eye view of the neighboring Ionian islands shortly after departure from Zakynthos.

🇮🇹

Gargano Peninsula

The distinct 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting into the Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Central Alps

Views of the massive glaciated peaks of Switzerland and the French border region.

🗼

Paris Suburbs

On a clear day, the urban sprawl of the French capital is visible in the distance.

🌊

English Channel

Crossing the narrow stretch of water with views of the white cliffs near Dieppe.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the wing. It also provides the best views of the French interior and the southern English coastline near Eastbourne or Brighton before turning north toward Leeds.
