CAG โ CGN
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the high peaks in the Swiss Alps, including the Bernese Oberland and the dramatic Italian Riviera coastline after crossing the Mediterranean.
Costa Smeralda
The luxury coastline of Northeast Sardinia with its signature turquoise waters and jagged granite inlets.
Elba Island
Napoleon's place of exile is often visible floating in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the east.
Italian Riviera
Stunning views of Genoa and the colorful coastal towns of the Ligurian coast.
Bernese Alps
A spectacular panorama of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks while overflying Switzerland.
Lake Lucerne
The complex, multi-branched lake surrounded by steep mountain walls in Central Switzerland.
Siebengebirge
The 'Seven Hills' volcanic range including the Drachenfels just before touchdown at CGN.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine enthusiasts. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Swiss peaks perfectly. Look out for the Matterhorn approximately 45 minutes into the flight.
Gulf of Asinara
Final views of the northern Sardinian coastline and the crystal clear waters surrounding Isola Piana.
Western Corsica
Dramatic views of the rugged cliffs and the UNESCO-listed Scandola Nature Reserve.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible on the horizon during the transition into Swiss airspace.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Western Europe's largest lake bordering France and Switzerland.
Black Forest
The dense evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region as the flight enters German territory.
Upper Middle Rhine
A glimpse of the castle-dotted valley south of Bonn during the descent phase.
Choose the left side for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 25-35 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the Corsican coastline.
