CAGLIN

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Tuscan Archipelago, the scenic Italian coastline, and the Milanese urban landscape during the approach to Linate.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Clear views of Elba Island, Capraia, and Gorgona dotting the blue Tyrrhenian Sea.

🛶

Gulf of La Spezia

The famous 'Gulf of Poets' and the Cinque Terre coastline visible as the plane nears the mainland.

⛰️

Northern Apennines

Crossing the mountain range that separates the Mediterranean coast from the flat Po Valley.

🏢

Milan City Center

Excellent views of the Duomo and the Porta Nuova skyscrapers during the southern approach to Linate.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you. For the best views of the Milan skyline during landing, choose a seat behind the wing. Watch for the distinctive shape of Elba Island roughly 30 minutes into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Sardinian West Coast

Aerial views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the Oristano region shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Corsican Interior

A stunning perspective of the high granite peaks of central Corsica, often snow-capped in winter.

🏔️

Maritime Alps

Distant views of the Western Alps and the Monviso peak as the flight crosses into mainland Italy.

🏙️

Piedmont Plains

The geometric patterns of the Vercelli rice fields during the descent towards the Po Valley.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides the best view of the Corsican mountain spine, which is particularly dramatic at sunrise when the peaks cast long shadows over the Mediterranean.
