Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for its direct view of Mont Blanc and the breathtaking final approach over the Egadi Islands and the coastal salt pans of Sicily.
Mont Blanc
An incredible close-up view of the highest mountain in the Alps and its sprawling glaciers.
Ligurian Coastline
The dramatic transition where the mountains meet the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea near Genoa.
Corsica & Sardinia
The northern tips of these French and Italian islands are often visible across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Egadi Islands
Stunning aerial views of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo surrounded by turquoise waters on final approach.
Saline di Trapani
The historic checkerboard-style salt pans and windmills just south of the airport during landing.
The approach into Trapani-Birgi is one of the most scenic in Italy; the Right Side provides front-row seats to the Egadi archipelago. Late afternoon flights are spectacular as the sun sets over the Mediterranean, creating a golden glow over the Sicilian coast.
Bernese Alps
Panoramic views of the iconic Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Switzerland.
Milan & Lombardy
Clear sight of the sprawling metropolitan area of Milan and the nearby San Siro stadium.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys forming the central spine of the Italian peninsula.
Rome & Lake Bracciano
Views of the Italian capital and the perfectly circular volcanic lakes of the Lazio region.
Distant Mount Etna
On clear days during the descent, Europe's most active volcano can be seen on the eastern horizon.
Sit toward the front to ensure an unobstructed view of the Swiss peaks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be positioned to your left, perfectly illuminating the French and Swiss mountain faces for photography.
