Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the central Alps, the stunning Tuscan coastline, and a dramatic close-up of Corsica's rugged mountains before touching down in Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌉

Öresund Bridge

The iconic engineering marvel connecting Malmö and Copenhagen is often visible to the west shortly after departure.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Vast views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight path crosses central Europe southward.

🏝️

Elba Island

Napoleon's place of exile is clearly visible as a green jewel in the blue Mediterranean waters.

⛰️

Corsica

The dramatic, high mountain ridges of the French island provide a stunning contrast to the surrounding sea.

🏖️

Costa Smeralda

The final approach offers views of the world-famous turquoise bays and white sand beaches of northern Sardinia.

Choose the right side for stunning sunset views over the sea. Keep your camera ready as you pass Elba and Corsica; the descent into Olbia often follows the coastline, providing incredible views of the crystal-clear Emerald Coast waters. Late afternoon flights offer the most dramatic shadows over the Alps.
