Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most diverse scenery, including the Italian Apennines, the northern rugged peaks of Corsica, and the iconic city grid of Barcelona on the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The mountainous spine of Italy, often snow-capped in winter, visible across the peninsula.

🍷

Tuscan Hills

The rolling agricultural patterns and historic estates of the Italian countryside.

🏔️

Cap Corse

The dramatic northern peninsula of Corsica with its sharp ridges and deep blue bays.

🏖️

Costa Brava

The rugged shoreline where the Pyrenees meet the sea as the plane enters Spanish airspace.

🏙️

Barcelona Cityscape

Breathtaking views of the Sagrada Familia and the Eixample district grid during the descent.

Sit on the right for sunset flights to see the Mediterranean glow. For the best chance of seeing Barcelona's city center, check the wind direction; usually, a southern approach provides the best city views from the right window.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Dubrovnik Old Town

Aerial perspective of the medieval walls and limestone streets immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Adriatic Islands

Lush views of the Elafiti Islands and Mljet stretching across the turquoise sea.

🌋

Mount Amiata

The ancient lava dome rising above the hills of southern Tuscany and Lazio.

🚢

Port of Barcelona

Views of the massive cruise terminals and the Mediterranean coast during the landing phase.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. It offers a more consistent view of the open Mediterranean and the southern Italian coastline if the flight path tracks slightly further south.
