Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the Tuscan Archipelago, the iconic Venetian Lagoon, and a breathtaking descent over the Gulf of Trieste.
Tuscan Archipelago
Breathtaking views of Elba, Capraia, and the smaller islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Tuscan Landscape
The iconic rolling hills of Tuscany, often visible as the flight crosses over near Pisa or Florence.
Venice and the Lagoon
An unparalleled view of the historic 'S' curve of the Grand Canal and the surrounding mosaic of islands.
Gulf of Trieste
The deep blue waters of the Adriatic framed by the Istrian Peninsula to the east.
Duino and Miramare Castles
Historic white stone castles perched on the rocky coastline during the final approach into TRS.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. Sit here to catch the breathtaking view of Venice approximately 15 minutes before landing. In the late afternoon, the sun illuminates the Istrian coast and the white cliffs near Trieste perfectly. Ensure you are seated away from the wing for the best photography of the Venetian Lagoon.
Capo Caccia Cliffs
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area visible immediately after takeoff from Alghero.
Corsican Interior
The rugged, mountainous spine of central Corsica, including the high peaks of Monte Cinto.
Bologna and Emilia-Romagna
The dense urban grid of Bologna and the surrounding agricultural tapestry of the Po Valley.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped silhouettes of the Italian Alps line the northern horizon.
Po Delta
The intricate network of waterways and wetlands where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic.
The left side is preferable during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the rugged Corsican terrain and the industrial heart of Northern Italy. Keep an eye out for the vast Po Valley plains which transition into the Friulian countryside.
