Island of Elba
On clear days, see the iconic shape of Napoleon's island and the smaller Pianosa rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Tuscan Archipelago
Views of Capraia and the northern islands of the protected marine park as the plane heads towards the mainland.
Lake Trasimeno
Italy's fourth-largest lake is a major highlight on the left as the aircraft begins its final descent into Perugia.
Perugia Hilltop
A glimpse of the historic center of Perugia perched on its high ridge just before touchdown.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare over the sea. This side is critical for spotting Lake Trasimeno, which is the most prominent geographic marker before landing. Ensure a window seat forward of the wing for the clearest views of the islands.
