CRL โ AHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the high Alps and a panoramic perspective of the island of Corsica as you approach Sardinia.
Namur & Meuse Valley
Shortly after takeoff from Charleroi, look down for the winding Meuse river and the historic fortifications of Namur.
French Alps
Mid-flight, you'll cross over the stunning peaks of the Ecrins National Park and the Southern French Alps.
French Riviera
As the flight reaches the Mediterranean, you can spot the glimmering coastline near Nice and the Principality of Monaco.
Corsican Highlands
The route often tracks alongside the rugged, mountainous interior of Corsica, providing a detailed view of its granite peaks.
Sardinian North Coast
On the final approach, the turquoise waters of the Maddalena Archipelago and the Gallura region are visible.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Alps and Corsica perfectly for photography. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline between France and the Mediterranean for high-contrast sea-and-mountain shots.
Burgundy Vineyards
The flight path traverses central France, offering views of the famous patchwork vineyards of the Burgundy region.
Massif Central
To the west, you can see the ancient volcanic domes of the Chaรฎne des Puys in the distance.
Marseille & The Calanques
Expect a clear view of France's second-largest city and the dramatic white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park.
Gulf of Lions
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean water as the plane begins its descent toward Sardinia.
Capo Caccia
Just before landing at Alghero, the massive limestone headland of Capo Caccia and its famous lighthouse dominate the view.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The final descent into Alghero often involves a banked turn over the sea, giving right-side passengers a spectacular view of the Alghero city walls and the dramatic cliffs of the Porto Conte regional park. Watch for the 'Sleeping Giant' rock formation at Capo Caccia.
