Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the dramatic Alpine peak of Monviso at takeoff, the rugged mountainous spine of Corsica, and a stunning aerial approach over the Egadi Islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Monviso

The iconic 'Stone King' peak of the Cottian Alps dominates the skyline immediately after departing from Cuneo.

🏔️

Corsican Peaks

Dramatic views of Monte Cinto and the jagged granite mountains that form the spine of the 'Island of Beauty'.

⚓

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow, windy passage separating Corsica from Sardinia, characterized by turquoise lagoons and white cliffs.

🌿

Sardinian Coast

The wild and rugged northeastern landscape of Sardinia, featuring rocky inlets and deep green vegetation.

🚤

Egadi Islands

Unparalleled views of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo islands surrounded by crystal-clear waters on final approach.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain enthusiasts; the view of Monviso is spectacular shortly after wheels up. During the second half of the flight, the islands of Corsica and Sardinia provide constant visual interest. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for the best views of the Egadi Islands archipelago near Trapani.

🍷

Langhe Hills

Rolling vineyards and misty valleys of the UNESCO-listed wine region of Piedmont shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Ligurian Riviera

Vibrant blue waters and coastal towns like Savona visible as the aircraft transitions from land to sea.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Distant views of the islands of Elba, Pianosa, and Montecristo scattered across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏖️

Gulf of Castellammare

The sweeping curve of the northern Sicilian coastline and the Zingaro Nature Reserve during the initial descent.

🏰

Erice

The medieval mountaintop town of Erice often becomes visible just before the final approach into Trapani-Birgi.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Italian mainland. This side is ideal for spotting the silhouette of the Tuscan islands against the horizon. During the final descent, look for the salt pans of Trapani if the flight path approaches from the north.
