Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Tuscan archipelago, the dramatic jagged peaks of the Dolomites, and a better angle of the Bavarian lakes upon descent.
Tuscan Archipelago
Clear views of the islands of Elba, Capraia, and the smaller islets dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Tuscany and Florence
The rolling hills of Tuscany and the Arno river valley are visible before the climb into the Apennines.
The Dolomites
The most spectacular part of the flight, featuring the UNESCO-listed jagged limestone peaks of South Tyrol.
Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this large lake is a primary landmark during the descent into Munich.
Bavarian Foothills
Dense forests and charming Alpine villages nestled in the green valleys of southern Germany.
The right side is ideal for capturing the unique colors of the Dolomites. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to avoid engine heat blur, especially when over the Alps where the detail is finest.
Corsican Interior
The rugged, mountainous spine of Corsica, including views of Monte Cinto, the island's highest peak.
Ligurian Coast
Aerial perspectives of the Italian Riviera as the flight moves from the Mediterranean toward the mainland.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible on the left as the plane crosses the Po Valley toward the Alps.
Central Alps
Massive glaciated peaks of the Austrian and German Alps, often including the Zugspitze in the distance.
Munich City Center
During specific western approach patterns, the Allianz Arena and city landmarks are visible to the left.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready as you pass northern Italy; the transition from the flat Po Valley to the vertical walls of the Alps happens very quickly.
