AHO → HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transit across the mountainous spine of Corsica and a more direct view of the central Swiss Alps and the picturesque Lake Constance.
Corsican Interior
Incredible views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of central Corsica as you fly directly over the island.
Gulf of Genoa
See the busy port of Genoa and the colorful villages of the Italian Ligurian coast as you cross back onto the mainland.
Central Swiss Alps
The 'Big Three'—Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau—are often visible in their full glacial glory from this perspective.
Lake Constance
The massive Bodensee marks the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, often appearing as a deep blue expanse.
Rhine Gorge
During the final approach to Hahn, look for the winding Rhine River and its famous medieval castles perched on the hillsides.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. For the best photography of the Alps, a morning flight provides the best front-lighting. Keep your camera ready about 25-35 minutes after takeoff as you cross Corsica, as this is often the most scenic segment.
Capo Caccia Cliffs
Immediately after takeoff from AHO, witness the dramatic limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area on the Sardinian coast.
French Riviera
Distant but clear views of the Côte d'Azur coastline, including the glitzy stretches near Nice and Cannes.
Mont Blanc Massif
As the plane enters the Alpine region, the highest peak in Europe often stands out clearly to the west of the flight path.
Lake Geneva
View the crescent-shaped Lac Léman and the surrounding Swiss and French Jura mountains.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald region as you descend into German airspace.
Sit on the left for better lighting during late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is also preferable if the flight path tracks further west, offering a better angle of the Western Alps and the Rhone Valley.
