The right side offers a more dramatic perspective of the rugged western coastline of Corsica and the vertical red cliffs of the Piana Calanques, along with a spectacular view of the Maritime Alps shortly after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

Maritime Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped southern peaks of the Alps immediately after departing Cuneo.

πŸ–οΈ

French Riviera

Distant views of the glamorous CΓ΄te d'Azur, including the areas near Nice and Cannes.

πŸͺ¨

Calanques de Piana

Stunning UNESCO-listed red granite cliffs on the western coast of Corsica that drop sharply into the sea.

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow, turquoise channel separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.

🚀

Gulf of Alghero

The jagged western coastline of Sardinia, known for its coral reefs and secluded bays.

🌾

Santa Gilla Lagoon

A vast wetland ecosystem located just west of Cagliari airport, visible during the final moments of flight.

The right side is the superior choice for sunset flights, offering a golden hour view over the Mediterranean. It is specifically better for viewing the dramatic western cliffs of Corsica, which are a major geographic highlight. Ensure your window is clear to capture the contrast between the red rocks and blue water.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Ligurian Coastline

Aerial views of the Italian Riviera as the plane transitions from land to the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

On clear days, the islands of Capraia and Elba are visible to the east against the horizon.

Bastia and North Corsica

The port city of Bastia and the flatter, lagoon-dotted eastern plains of the island.

⛰️

Gennargentu Massif

The highest mountain range in Sardinia, visible as the flight path moves inland towards Cagliari.

🦩

Molentargius Saline

Vibrant salt pans near Cagliari, often home to large colonies of pink flamingos visible during descent.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better angle for seeing the distant Tuscan islands and the mountainous interior of Sardinia. Keep an eye out for the turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda as you approach the Sardinian coast.
