Sardinian Coast
Immediate views of the crystal-clear waters surrounding Alghero and the dramatic Capo Caccia cliffs upon takeoff.
Corsican West Coast
Breathtaking views of the granite cliffs and deep blue bays of the Scandola Nature Reserve and Ajaccio.
Port of Genoa
As you cross the Ligurian Sea, you can often spot the bustling maritime activity and the iconic Lanterna lighthouse.
Maritime Alps
On clear days, the western horizon reveals the jagged, often snow-dusted peaks of the French and Italian Alps.
Milan City Center
During the final approach into Linate, look out for the Duomo di Milano and the modern skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district.
Book an early morning flight for the most dramatic lighting on the Corsican cliffs. If the plane lands from the south (the most common path), the left side is essential for seeing the city center. Ensure your window is clean for high-altitude shots of the Ligurian coastline.
