Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Italian mainland coast, the dramatic vertical peaks of the Dolomites, and a spectacular approach over the Danube River with views of the Bratislava city skyline.
Tuscan Coastline
Sweeping views of the Italian shore, potentially seeing the cities of Livorno and Pisa depending on the specific airway.
Po River Delta
The intricate network of waterways where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale peaks of the UNESCO World Heritage mountain range, offering some of Europe's most dramatic alpine scenery.
Lake Neusiedl
The large, shallow endorheic lake on the Austrian-Hungarian border, visible just before reaching Bratislava.
Bratislava Cityscape
Prime views of the Bratislava Castle, the UFO bridge, and the Danube river during the standard approach to Runway 31.
Sit on the right for the best sunlight during morning and midday flights. The highlight is the Alpine crossing; keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes into the flight for the Dolomites. During the descent, look for the wind turbines of the Parndorf Plain in Austria.
Capo Caccia
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area visible immediately after takeoff from Alghero.
Corsica Silhouette
The rugged, mountainous eastern coastline of the French island of Corsica visible across the Strait of Bonifacio.
Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, known for its clear waters and Napoleon's exile history.
Hohe Tauern
Glaciated peaks of the Austrian Alps, including views towards the Grossglockner massif in clear conditions.
Devín Castle
The historic ruins at the confluence of the Morava and Danube rivers during the final descent.
Early morning flights are ideal on this side to avoid direct sun glare while looking west toward Corsica. Watch for the stark transition from the blue Mediterranean to the dense green of the Apennine Mountains as you cross into mainland Italy.
