CAG → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the high Alpine peaks, the beautiful lakes of Northern Italy and Switzerland, and a scenic approach over the Moselle Valley near Luxembourg.
Gulf of Cagliari
Panoramic view of the Poetto beach and the Molentargius salt pans home to pink flamingos immediately after rotation.
The Swiss Alps
Spectacular flyover of the Bernese Oberland, including iconic peaks like the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Northern Italian Lakes
Glimpses of Lake Maggiore or Lake Lugano as the flight transitions from the Mediterranean to the European mainland.
Moselle Valley
The winding Moselle River with its steep, vineyard-covered slopes visible during the final approach into LUX.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. For the best photography of the Alps, book a midday flight when the sun is high to minimize shadows. Look for the glint of the sun off the Swiss lakes approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight.
Western Sardinian Coast
Dramatic views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the Oristano coastline shortly after takeoff.
Scandola Nature Reserve
Aerial perspective of Corsica's UNESCO-listed red granite cliffs and volcanic rock formations.
Mont Blanc Massif
On a clear day, the highest peak in Europe may be visible in the distance as you cross the Alpine range.
Jura Mountains
The rolling green ridges and dense forests of the Jura range marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is excellent for capturing the vertical granite walls of Western Corsica and the expansive views of the French countryside during the descent.
