CIY → LIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Comiso Airport (Comiso) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Tyrrhenian coastline and the spectacular Aeolian Islands shortly after departure, followed by the Tuscan Archipelago during the cruise phase.
Aeolian Islands
Stunning aerial views of the volcanic chain, including Vulcano and the cone of Stromboli rising from the sea.
Tuscan Archipelago
Clear views of Elba Island and Giglio as the flight path tracks north along the western coast of Italy.
Milan Skyline
As the plane banks for its final approach into Linate, the skyscrapers of the CityLife and Porta Nuova districts are often visible.
Maremma Coast
The transition from the azure waters of the Mediterranean to the lush green coastal plains of Tuscany.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Aeolian Islands approximately 15 minutes after takeoff. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the coastline, as the sun is behind the aircraft. On clear days, you may even spot the silhouette of Corsica in the far distance.
Mount Etna
A majestic view of Europe's most active volcano shortly after takeoff from Comiso, often trailing a plume of smoke.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'spine' of Italy stretches across the horizon, showcasing snow-capped peaks in winter and spring.
Rome Suburbs
Depending on the specific airway used, the eastern outskirts of the Eternal City and the Alban Hills may be visible.
Po Valley
The geometric patterns of Lombardy's vast agricultural plains during the descent phase into Milan.
The star attraction on the right is Mount Etna, which appears very early in the flight; be ready with your camera immediately after the initial climb. This side is preferable during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
