DTM โ AHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Dortmund Airport (Dortmund) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dramatic castles of the Rhine Valley, the highest peaks of the Western Alps including Mont Blanc, and a breathtaking approach over the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean toward Sardinia.
Middle Rhine Valley
A UNESCO World Heritage site dotted with medieval castles and steep vineyards south of Bonn.
The High Alps
Breathtaking views of the Western Alps, often featuring the majestic, snow-capped summit of Mont Blanc.
French Riviera
The glamorous coastline near Nice and Cannes where the Alps meet the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Gulf of Porto
The dramatic red cliffs and UNESCO-listed Scandola Nature Reserve on western Corsica's coast.
Capo Caccia
The iconic limestone promontory of Alghero, visible during the final descent and approach.
Sit on the right side for the 'money shot' of Mont Blanc roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight. On the descent into Alghero, the right side usually provides a spectacular view of the 'Grotte di Nettuno' cliffs. Afternoon flights can be bright, so polarized sunglasses are recommended to cut the glare from the Mediterranean Sea.
Hessian Highlands
Rolling green hills and dense forests of central Germany shortly after departure from Dortmund.
Lake Constance
A massive expanse of water marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Central Swiss Alps
Stunning views of the Bernese Oberland peaks, including the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau.
Tuscan Archipelago
Distant views of the island of Elba and the Tyrrhenian coastline during the final cruise phase.
Eastern Corsica
The long, straight coastline of Corsica featuring lagoons and sandy beaches as you head south.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the German highlands. It provides a great perspective on the scale of the Alpine range. When approaching Sardinia, watch for the smaller Italian islands scattered in the sea. Ensure your window is clear of condensation during the Alpine crossing for the best photography.
