Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is prioritized for its spectacular perspective of the Maddalena Archipelago and the dramatic Tavolara Island during the final approach phase into Olbia.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

French Alps

Distant glimpses of the snowy peaks of the Ecrins or Mont Blanc massifs depending on the specific flight corridor.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

The deep blue expanse transitioning from the French coast into the open Mediterranean waters.

⛰️

Cap Corse

The rugged northern peninsula of Corsica jutting out into the sea like a finger.

🏝️

Maddalena Archipelago

Breathtaking turquoise waters and granite islets visible during the final descent phase.

🗿

Tavolara Island

The iconic, massive limestone table mountain rising 565 meters out of the Gulf of Olbia.

Sit on the port side for the most dramatic entry into Sardinia. On clear days, you can spot the Alps shortly after clearing the Paris region. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, look down to see the crystal-clear lagoons of Spargi and Budelli islands. This side avoids direct sun glare on morning flights heading south.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🗼

Paris Skyline

Sweeping views of the French capital urban layout and the Seine river shortly after takeoff.

🍇

Rhone Valley

The winding river and famous vineyards of the southern French interior as the plane heads south.

🌊

West Corsican Coast

The UNESCO-protected Calanques de Piana and dramatic red rock formations along the shoreline.

🏰

Bonifacio Cliffs

Spectacular white limestone cliffs and the citadel perched at the southern tip of Corsica.

🏖️

Costa Smeralda

Luxury resorts and emerald-colored coves of northern Sardinia visible just before touchdown.

The starboard side is ideal for capturing the rugged beauty of Corsica interior and its western coastline. If your flight is in the evening, you will enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean. Watch for the dramatic limestone cliffs of Bonifacio as you cross the strait into Sardinian airspace.
