CAGGRO

Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Sardinian coastline upon departure, followed by a dramatic approach over the Costa Brava with the Pyrenees mountains visible on the horizon.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Sardinian West Coast

Stunning views of the Gulf of Oristano and the rugged cliffs of western Sardinia shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Costa Brava

Aerial perspective of the famous 'Rugged Coast' with its turquoise coves and rocky inlets near Palamos.

🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

Panoramic views of the snow-capped Pyrenees peaks marking the border between Spain and France.

🏰

Girona Cathedral

Possible views of the iconic Onyar River and the medieval old town of Girona during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of the Pyrenees. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Costa Brava coastline. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure from CAG for the Sardinian shore.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Mediterranean Expanse

Deep blue views of the Balearic Sea during the cruise phase of the flight.

🏝️

Menorca Silhouette

Distant views of the northern coast of Menorca depending on the specific flight corridor.

🏙️

Barcelona Coastline

On clear days, the distant skyline of Barcelona can be seen to the southwest during the descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the reflection of the sun on the Mediterranean. It offers a more peaceful, sea-centric view, but lacks the dramatic mountain backdrops found on the opposite side.
