AHO → BLQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its exceptional views of the Tuscan Archipelago islands and a higher probability of seeing Bologna's historic red-roofed center during the final approach.
Search flights from AHO to BLQ
Tuscan Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of Elba, Capraia, and Gorgona islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Port of Livorno
The geometric patterns of the Tuscan canals and the busy Mediterranean shipping hub.
Lucca's Walls
The perfectly preserved Renaissance walls forming a green ring around the historic city center.
Apennine Spine
Crossing the rugged ridges and deep valleys of the Northern Apennines before descending.
Bologna Skyline
If landing on Runway 30, you will see the Two Towers and the San Petronio Basilica.
The right side is superior for island spotting mid-flight. For the best views of Bologna's city center, check the wind direction; a northwest approach (Runway 30) offers a panoramic view of the 'Red City' on the right. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden-hour lighting on the Tuscan landscape.

Capo Caccia
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area visible immediately after takeoff from Alghero.
Corsica Mountains
Distant but clear views of the high granite peaks of the central Corsican massif across the sea.
Alpi Apuane
The striking white scars of the Carrara marble quarries which look like snow from the air.
Versilia Coast
The long, straight stretch of sandy beaches near Viareggio as the plane transitions to the mainland.
Sit on the left for the best view of Sardinia's rugged northwestern coastline at departure. In the morning, this side has the best lighting for photography as the sun is in the east. Look for the white patches in the mountains near the end of the flight; those are marble quarries, not snow.
