Which side of the plane to sit from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of Mediterranean landscapes, including a full-length traverse of Corsica and a breathtaking final descent over the Egadi archipelago.
Rhône Valley
Aerial views of the winding river and the famous wine regions of southern France.
Corsica
A dramatic crossing of the 'Island of Beauty' featuring its rugged mountainous spine and granite cliffs.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow turquoise channel separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
Sardinian Coast
Glittering views of the Costa Smeralda's turquoise waters and white sand beaches.
Egadi Islands
Stunning low-altitude views of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo just moments before touchdown.
The right side is the clear winner for Mediterranean scenery. To maximize the experience, choose a seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Egadi Islands during descent. For afternoon or evening flights, this side offers magnificent sunsets over the sea. Keep a close watch about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the striking white cliffs of Bonifacio.
Central Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as you cross from France into Italian airspace.
Tuscan Countryside
Aerial patterns of vineyards and rolling hills of central Italy visible before heading out to sea.
Lazio Coastline
Views of the Tyrrhenian coast and the outskirts of Rome in the distance.
Mount Erice
The medieval hilltop town overlooking Trapani is often visible on the left during the final approach.
Mount Etna
On very clear days, the distant silhouette of Sicily's massive volcano may be visible on the horizon.
Sit on the left if you want to see the higher peaks of the Alps during the first half of the flight. For the landing at TPS, the left side provides the best view of the historic salt pans and the ancient city of Erice. Morning flights on this side will experience significant sun glare, making photography difficult.
