Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Italian coastline, distant views of the Tuscan Archipelago, and the dramatic limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia upon arrival in Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Rome Cityscape

Aerial views of the Eternal City and the Vatican dome depending on the departure vector from Ciampino.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

On clear days, the islands of Giglio and Montecristo appear as jewels in the sea to the north.

🇫🇷

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow gap between Sardinia and the white cliffs of Corsica is often visible during the cruise phase.

🗿

Capo Caccia

Stunning views of the massive limestone headland and the 'Sleeping Giant' rock formation near Alghero.

🚤

Fertilia Coastline

Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches just north of Alghero as the plane makes its final approach.

Sit on the right for the most iconic views of the Sardinian coast. Afternoon flights offer excellent lighting on the white cliffs of Capo Caccia, which is the highlight of the descent into Alghero.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏖️

Lido di Ostia

The historic Roman seaside and the mouth of the Tiber River visible shortly after departure.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean waters dominating the mid-flight experience.

⛰️

Sardinian Interior

Rugged, mountainous terrain and the Nurra agricultural plains as the plane aligns for landing.

🛥️

Porto Torres

The industrial and ferry port of Northern Sardinia often visible during the descent sequence.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the Mediterranean sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the silhouette of the Pontine Islands in the distant south during the initial climb.
