Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the high Alpine peaks, the stunning Italian lakes, and the diverse coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea including the Tuscan islands.
Wallonia Landscapes
Rolling green hills and the Meuse river valley shortly after departure from Charleroi.
Swiss-Italian Alps
Breathtaking views of the central Alpine range, featuring glaciated peaks and deep valleys.
Lake Maggiore
Visuals of the crystal-clear waters bordering Switzerland and Italy's Lombardy region.
Cinque Terre
If the flight path hugs the coast, you can spot the colorful villages of the Ligurian shore.
Elba Island
Clear views of the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago nestled in the blue Mediterranean.
Gulf of Cagliari
A scenic view of the city's harbor and the Molentargius salt works during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. The transition from the flatlands of Northern Europe to the jagged Alps occurs roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight. Keep your camera ready for the Tuscan islands about 15 minutes before landing.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in the distance to the west.
French Riviera
Distant views of the Cote d'Azur as the flight crosses from the mainland to the sea.
Corsica
An excellent view of the entire mountainous spine of the island, known as the 'Mountain in the Sea'.
Strait of Bonifacio
The turquoise waters and white limestone cliffs separating Corsica from Sardinia.
Costa Smeralda
The rugged western and northern coastlines of Sardinia as you approach the destination.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the light reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea and the Corsican mountains. This side provides a more dramatic look at the island of Corsica, which is often the highlight of the mid-flight segment.
