BLQ β AHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the rugged western coastline of Corsica, the high peaks of the Corsican Alps, and a spectacular view of the Capo Caccia limestone cliffs upon descent into Alghero.
Gulf of La Spezia
The 'Gulf of Poets' and the rugged Ligurian coastline are often visible during the initial climb phase.
Corsican Interior
Stunning views of the island's highest peaks, including Monte Cinto, which often remains snow-capped into late spring.
Gulf of Porto
Dramatic red granite cliffs and the UNESCO-listed Scandola Nature Reserve along the western Corsican shore.
Asinara Island
The protected national park island off the northwestern tip of Sardinia, known for its unique white donkeys.
Capo Caccia
The iconic, massive limestone headland that marks the entrance to the Porto Conte bay near Alghero airport.
The right side is unbeatable for sunset flights, as the sun dips into the Mediterranean. During the final approach into Alghero, the aircraft usually banks over the sea, giving right-side passengers a front-row seat to the dramatic cliffs of the Coral Riviera.
Tuscan Apennines
Aerial views of the forested peaks and valleys separating Emilia-Romagna from Tuscany shortly after takeoff.
Elba Island
Look for the iron-rich island of Elba and the surrounding Tuscan Archipelago gems like Montecristo.
Bastia Coastline
The coastal plains and large lagoons of eastern Corsica, including the Γtang de Biguglia.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow turquoise channel separating the southern tip of Corsica from the northern edge of Sardinia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun glare. This side provides a better perspective of the vast Tyrrhenian Sea and the gentler eastern slopes of the islands.
