CAG → TRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more dramatic perspective of the rugged western coastline of Corsica and the iconic pyramid-shaped Monviso peak during the descent into Piedmont.
Gulf of Oristano
Aerial views of the Sinis Peninsula and the lagoons of western Sardinia shortly after takeoff.
Scandola Nature Reserve
The striking red granite cliffs and volcanic headlands of Corsica's UNESCO-listed western coast.
Monviso Peak
The 'King of Stone' is clearly visible as a solitary, massive pyramid rising above the Cottian Alps during descent.
Turin Western Suburbs
Panoramic views of the Susa Valley opening up towards the French border as the plane aligns for TRN.
To avoid harsh glare and capture the best colors of the Corsican cliffs, choose a morning flight. The western Alps are most dramatic in winter when fully snow-capped. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best shot of Monviso.
Cagliari & Poetto Beach
Excellent views of the Castello district, the harbor, and the long sandy stretch of Poetto beach immediately after departure.
Tuscan Archipelago
On clear days, look across the Tyrrhenian Sea to spot the silhouettes of Elba and Capraia islands.
Langhe Wine Region
The UNESCO-listed rolling hills of Barolo and Barbaresco, characterized by geometric vineyard patterns.
Superga Basilica
Often visible on the hillside overlooking Turin during the final approach pattern.
The right side is superior for the initial climb out of Sardinia, offering views of the city and salt pans. During the descent, look for the geometric beauty of the Piedmontese vineyards. If the flight arrives from the north, you might also glimpse the city center of Turin.
