Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Adriatic coastline, the jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites, and a more scenic approach into Northern England over the Peak District.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Adriatic Sea

Crystal clear views of the Italian east coast and the numerous small islands dotting the blue waters.

⛰️

The Dolomites

The most dramatic section of the flight featuring the sharp, vertical limestone peaks of the Italian Alps.

🌲

The Black Forest

Deep green forested expanses in Southern Germany as the plane heads toward the Benelux region.

🚢

Rhine-Meuse Delta

View the intricate network of canals, rivers, and industrial ports near the Dutch and Belgian coasts.

🏘️

Peak District

The rolling hills, moors, and stone-walled fields of the English National Park during the descent into Manchester.

The right side is the prime choice for Alpine scenery, specifically the Dolomites. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains perfectly. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the English countryside and the Peak District during the final approach into MAN.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Ionian Coastline

Stunning views of the turquoise waters and white limestone cliffs of southern Zakynthos during departure.

🇮🇹

Central Apennines

The rugged mountainous spine of Italy featuring deep valleys and historic hilltop villages.

🏔️

Western Alps

Snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the French-Swiss border region visible during the high-altitude cruise.

🗼

Northern France

The expansive, geometric patchwork of the French countryside and the winding Seine River basin.

🌊

English Channel

Crossing the busy maritime corridor between mainland Europe and the United Kingdom.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Ionian Sea immediately after takeoff. For late afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to take photos without sun glare. Watch for the change from Mediterranean vegetation to the greener landscapes of Northern Europe.
