Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the Mediterranean islands, including the Tuscan Archipelago, the entire length of Corsica, and a scenic entry into Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Elba Island

Clear views of Monte Capanne and the distinctive coastline of the largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago.

🏔️

Corsican Alps

The dramatic, jagged mountain range of central Corsica, often snow-capped in winter months.

🚤

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow turquoise channel and white limestone cliffs separating Corsica from Sardinia.

🦩

Cagliari Wetlands

The colorful salt pans of Molentargius, known for their large populations of wild pink flamingos.

The right side is superior for island-hopping views. For afternoon flights, you will witness a stunning sunset over the Mediterranean. On approach to CAG, look down for the vibrant pink and purple hues of the salt flats.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Apennine Ridges

Rugged peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines visible shortly after takeoff from Bologna.

🏙️

Tuscan Cities

Distant views of the Florence metropolitan area and the rolling hills of the Chianti region.

⚓

Civitavecchia

Views of the busy cruise port and the Lazio coastline before the flight turns toward the open sea.

🏖️

Gulf of Orosei

The dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden turquoise coves of Sardinia's eastern coastline.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the soft light hitting the Italian mainland. It is particularly good for spotting the sharp contrast between the Gennargentu mountains and the sea upon reaching Sardinia.
