Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: the Tuscan landscape and Arno valley on departure, then the Alps and Jura Mountains during the midpoint cruise phase as the aircraft crosses into France and Switzerland. Left side offers good landing views but less compelling mid-flight scenery.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Alps and Jura Mountains. Right-side passengers will see the Mont Blanc massif and surrounding Alpine peaks as the aircraft cruises at 30,000-35,000 feet. The Rhône Valley appears below as a distinct north-south corridor. Further north, the Jura Mountains form a lower, parallel ridge system. Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) may be visible on clear days as a large blue expanse on the left side. The flight then crosses into France and Belgium over the Burgundy region, with the Seine River valley becoming visible before the final approach to Brussels.
