Which side of the plane to sit from M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Julian Alps, the Adriatic coastline, and the stunning Egadi Islands during the final descent into Sicily.
Vienna Basin
Catch the outskirts of Vienna and the sprawling Austrian landscape shortly after departure.
Julian Alps
Spectacular views of the jagged peaks located at the border of Slovenia and Italy.
Gulf of Venice
View the distant lagoon of Venice and the northern Adriatic coastline.
Egadi Islands
During the descent, get an incredible view of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo islands.
Trapani Salt Pans
The colorful checkered patterns of the ancient salt pans are visible just before touchdown.
The right side is unbeatable for the descent into Trapani; the plane often banks over the Egadi Islands, offering world-class views of turquoise waters. For evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunsets over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Sit away from the wing for the best view of the salt pans near the airport.
Bratislava Castle
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the castle and the Danube river.
Styrian Alps
Fly over the rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys of southern Austria.
Adriatic Coastline
Views of the Croatian coast and the numerous islands dotting the blue sea.
Apennine Mountains
Cross the spine of Italy, featuring the dramatic peaks of the Gran Sasso d'Italia.
Mount Etna
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Europe's most active volcano is visible to the southeast.
Choose this side for views of the Italian mainland and the deep blue of the Adriatic. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Italian interior. Watch for the northern Sicilian coastline as you cross the Tyrrhenian Sea.
