CAG → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Italian Apennines and the spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites, followed by a scenic approach into Poland with views of the Carpathian range.
Molentargius Salt Pans
The vibrant pink salt evaporation ponds near Cagliari, often home to large colonies of flamingos.
Apennine Spine
A flight path following the mountainous backbone of Italy, showcasing remote valleys and high ridges.
The Dolomites
The undisputed highlight, featuring the unique, vertical limestone spires of Northern Italy.
Danube River
A crossing of Europe's second-longest river as the flight transits the Vienna Basin area.
High Tatras
To the south during the descent, the jagged peaks marking the border between Poland and Slovakia come into view.
Krakow Outskirts
A scenic descent over the Vistula River and the historic architecture of southern Poland.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine scenery, specifically the Dolomites. For the best photography, aim for a midday or afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the southern faces of the mountains. During descent into Krakow (KRK), look southward to spot the high peaks of the Tatras in the distance.
Poetto Beach
Aerial view of Cagliari's iconic 8km urban beach and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Angels.
Corsican Massif
The rugged, granite peaks of central Corsica, often snow-capped during the winter and spring months.
Elba Island
A clear view of the largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for its historical connection to Napoleon.
Hohe Tauern
Panoramic views of the Austrian Central Alps, including several peaks exceeding 3,000 meters.
Moravian Highlands
The rolling green hills and historic towns of the eastern Czech Republic during the mid-flight phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding for spotting the Tuscan archipelago and the dense forests of the Czech Republic. Keep your camera ready as you pass Corsica for some of the Mediterranean's most dramatic island terrain.
