CAGBVA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the stunning turquoise waters of the Maddalena Archipelago, the high peaks of Corsica, and a distant view of the snow-capped French Alps as you cross into mainland France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💎

Costa Smeralda

The world-famous 'Emerald Coast' of northeast Sardinia, known for its crystal-clear bays.

🏔️

Corsican Interior

Direct views of Monte Cinto, the highest peak in Corsica, often dusted with snow until early summer.

🏖️

French Riviera

A sweeping view of the Côte d'Azur, stretching from Nice toward St. Tropez.

❄️

Alpine Panorama

On clear days, the distant but majestic silhouette of Mont Blanc and the Western Alps is visible to the East.

🗼

Paris Approach

During the descent into BVA, you can often spot the Eiffel Tower and the La Défense skyline in the distance to the south.

The right side is prime for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Look out early in the flight for the Strait of Bonifacio separating Sardinia and Corsica. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for a distant view of the Paris city center if the visibility is high.

🌊

Gulf of Cagliari

Aerial view of the 'Golfo degli Angeli' and the Molentargius Saline Regional Park shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Gennargentu Massif

The rugged, mountainous heart of Sardinia with its limestone plateaus and deep gorges.

⚓

Gulf of Porto

Dramatic views of the red granite cliffs of the Piana Calanques on the western Corsican coast.

🚢

Marseille Coastline

The bustling port of Marseille and the scenic Frioul archipelago visible as the plane enters French airspace.

🌋

Massif Central

Overlooking the ancient dormant volcanoes and green valleys of central France.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern glare. This side provides a better angle for the dramatic cliffs of western Corsica and the industrial beauty of the Rhone delta. Keep a camera ready for the transition from the blue Mediterranean to the lush French countryside.
