DUB β CIY
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Comiso Airport (Comiso)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled sequence of European landmarks, including the high peaks of the Alps, the city of Rome, the volcanic silhouette of Mount Vesuvius, and a spectacular approach toward Mount Etna as you enter Sicily.
Greater London Area
Aerial views of the sprawling London metropolis and the winding River Thames shortly after crossing the English Channel.
The Central Alps
A breathtaking traverse over the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and Italian Alps, featuring jagged ridges and glacial lakes.
Rome & The Vatican
As the flight heads south, the Tiber River and the historic center of the Eternal City often appear beneath the wing.
Mount Vesuvius
An iconic view of the volcano overlooking the Bay of Naples and the archaeological site of Pompeii.
Amalfi Coast
The rugged, world-famous coastline south of Naples, characterized by vertical cliffs and colorful villages.
Mount Etna
During the descent into Comiso, Europe's most active volcano provides a dramatic backdrop to the Sicilian landscape.
Book a seat away from the wing for the best photography of the Alps and Mount Etna. On morning flights, the sun is positioned on the opposite side, providing perfect, glare-free lighting for the Italian coastline. During winter months, the contrast of snow on the Alps is a major highlight.
Loire Valley
Glance down at the 'Garden of France,' known for its historic chΓ’teaux and vineyard-lined riverbanks.
Corsica & Sardinia
Excellent views of the rugged mountainous terrain and emerald waters surrounding these major Mediterranean islands.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast blue expanses occasionally dotted with small volcanic islands and merchant shipping lanes.
Sicilian West Coast
The final approach offers views of the Mediterranean horizon and the sandy beaches of southern Sicily.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch a stunning Mediterranean sunset over the sea. It is generally the 'quieter' side for views until reaching the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, which are the primary highlights here.
