CAG → LIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
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.
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.
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.
