AOI → AHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Ancona Falconara Airport (Ancona) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the Tuscan Archipelago, the dramatic white cliffs of Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia, and a stunning view of Capo Caccia upon arrival.
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the islands of Elba, Montecristo, and Giglio rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Strait of Bonifacio
Incredible views of the narrow channel separating Corsica from Sardinia, featuring turquoise waters.
Capo Caccia
The massive limestone promontory and cliffs that define the landscape of northwest Sardinia.
Porto Conte
A bird's-eye view of the natural horseshoe-shaped bay and the surrounding regional park.
This is the premier side for geography lovers. On clear days, you can see the entire southern coastline of Corsica. During the final approach into AHO, the plane often banks right, providing a direct view of the Neptune's Grotto cliffs. Best for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Sardinian coastline perfectly.
Central Apennines
Aerial views of the rugged peaks in the Abruzzo and Lazio regions shortly after departure.
Lazio Coastline
The transition from the Italian mainland to the Tyrrhenian Sea, with views toward the Tiber delta.
Tyrrhenian Blue
A long stretch of deep Mediterranean blue, often dotted with cargo ships and ferries.
Gulf of Alghero
A sweeping view of the southern beaches of the Coral Riviera during the final descent.
Choose this side for early morning departures to watch the sunrise over the Adriatic before crossing the peninsula. Keep an eye out for the Gran Sasso massif south of the flight path in the first 15 minutes. It is also the better side for seeing the city of Alghero itself if the wind dictates a northern approach.
