Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

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.
