Which side of the plane to sit from M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the High Alps, the rugged western coastline of Corsica, and the spectacular limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia during the final approach into Alghero.
Austrian High Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the central Alpine range shortly after departure.
Lake Garda
The largest lake in Italy, often visible as a shimmering blue needle nestled in the mountains.
Ligurian Coast
The rugged shoreline where the Apennines meet the sea near Genoa and the Cinque Terre.
Corsican Massif
Stunning views of the jagged Monte Cinto and the dramatic western cliffs of Corsica.
Capo Caccia
The massive limestone promontory and the Neptune's Grotto area during the descent into Alghero.
The right side is essential for the iconic approach into Alghero. To see the Alps clearly, choose a morning flight when the sun is in the east. Keep your camera ready as you pass Corsica; the contrast between the mountains and the sea is world-class.
Bratislava & Danube
Aerial view of the Slovak capital and the winding Danube river immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Alps
The rolling peaks of the Austrian Alps as the flight heads southwest towards Italy.
Emilia-Romagna
The fertile Po Valley and the historic urban sprawl of cities like Bologna and Modena.
East Corsica
View of the flatter, lagoon-filled eastern coastline of Corsica near Bastia.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue waters separating mainland Italy from the Mediterranean islands.
Sit on the left for softer morning light and views of the Italian mainland. However, be aware that afternoon flights may experience significant sun glare on this side as you head southwest.
