AHOTRN

Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Turin Airport (Torino)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Sardinian coastline at departure and a front-row seat to the Western Alps, including the iconic Monviso peak, during the descent into Turin.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Capo Caccia Cliffs

Stunning views of the massive limestone promontory and the Neptune's Grotto area immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Asinara Island

A clear view of the former prison island, now a National Park, located off the northwestern tip of Sardinia.

🏔️

Maritime Alps

As the plane crosses the Ligurian Sea, the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps emerge on the horizon.

⛰️

Monviso Peak

The 'King of Stone', a distinctive pyramid-shaped mountain that inspired the Paramount Pictures logo.

✈️

Susa Valley

Glances into the deep Alpine valleys that lead toward the French border during the final approach.

Sit on the left (Seat A) for the best views of the Sardinian 'Coral Coast' right after takeoff. During the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you or to the side, illuminating the Alps beautifully. Watch for the dramatic transition from the deep blue Mediterranean to the sharp, white peaks of the Alps.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏘️

Alghero Old Town

A bird's-eye view of the medieval city walls and the Catalan-Gothic architecture of the historic center.

⛰️

Corsica Coastline

In the distance, the rugged western mountains and coastline of the French island of Corsica are often visible.

🚢

Ligurian Riviera

The coastline near Savona and Genoa, where the mountains meet the sea in a narrow strip of urban development.

🍷

Langhe Vineyards

The UNESCO-listed rolling hills of Piedmont, famous for Barolo and Barbaresco wine production.

🏙️

Turin Cityscape

View of the Mole Antonelliana, the Po River, and the Superga Basilica as the plane turns for landing.

The right side (Seat F) is ideal for spotting the city of Turin itself during the final minutes of flight. If flying in the morning, the light on the Piedmontese hills is spectacular. Keep an eye out for the coastline of Corsica during the mid-flight segment over the sea.
