Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Tuscan Archipelago islands and a more scenic final approach over the historic center of Cagliari and the Molentargius salt pans.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Apennine Mountains

Cross over the rugged peaks of the northern Apennines shortly after leaving the Po Valley.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Panoramic views of Elba, Pianosa, and Montecristo islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏛️

Cagliari Cityscape

A bird's-eye view of the historic Castello district and the harbor during the final descent.

🦩

Molentargius Saline

Vibrant pink salt pans known for their resident flamingo colonies just before touchdown.

Book an early morning flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of the Tuscan islands. On approach, watch for the 'Devil's Saddle' rock formation. In winter, the Apennine peaks are often capped with snow, providing excellent contrast against the blue sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Ligurian Coast

Distal views of the Italian Riviera and the Gulf of La Spezia as the plane heads south.

⛰️

Corsica's Silhouette

The dramatic, jagged mountain skyline of Corsica is often visible across the water to the west.

⛵

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow blue channel separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.

🌿

Sardinian Wilderness

Views of the untamed landscapes and granite peaks of northern and central Sardinia.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the crossing of the Bonifacio Strait, look for the white limestone cliffs of the Corsican coast. Visibility is typically highest in late spring when the air is crisp.
