CIY โ HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Comiso Airport (Comiso) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the smoking peak of Mount Etna shortly after takeoff, followed by the volcanic Aeolian Islands and the most dramatic sections of the Swiss Alps.
Mount Etna
Europe's most active volcano is often visible to the northeast shortly after departure from Comiso.
Aeolian Islands
Look for the volcanic cones of Stromboli and Vulcano rising out of the sea.
Berner Oberland
Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross the Swiss Alps.
Lake Zurich
The long, narrow lake stretching through the heart of northern Switzerland.
Rhine Valley Castles
During the descent into Hahn, watch for medieval fortresses perched above the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see Mount Etna's plume. On morning flights, the lighting over the Alps is particularly striking. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight to capture the winding river valleys and historic castles of the Hunsrรผck region.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as you depart the Sicilian coast.
Western Alps
Jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Valais and French-Swiss border regions.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of one of Western Europe's largest lakes.
Palatinate Forest
Rolling hills and vineyard-covered slopes of the German wine country near the border.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Watch for the Italian coastline as you climb; if the flight path is slightly west, you may spot the coast of Corsica in the distance.
