DUS → CAG
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers a more direct view of the high peaks of the Central Swiss Alps and provides the iconic view of Cagliari's Poetto beach and the Molentargius salt pans during the final approach.

Rhine Valley
Aerial views of the winding Rhine river and the industrial landscape of the Ruhr region shortly after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
Breathtaking perspectives of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight crosses into Italy.
Lake Maggiore
A glimpse of the stunning blue waters and Borromean Islands on the border of Switzerland and Italy.
Corsican Ridges
Views of the granite mountains and the eastern coastal plains of Corsica during the mid-flight transit.
Molentargius Park
The distinctive pink salt pans and wetlands of Cagliari, often populated by flamingos, visible on descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses. The descent into CAG from the north often banks over the Gulf of Angels, giving the left side a perfect view of the city's old town and the long Poetto beach.

Vosges Mountains

Mont Blanc
Europe's highest peak is often visible in the distance to the west when crossing the Alpine ridge.
French Riviera
On clear days, the distant glint of the Mediterranean coast near Nice and Cannes can be spotted.
Gulf of Porto
The dramatic red cliffs and UNESCO-listed Scandola Nature Reserve on the western side of Corsica.
Asinara Island
The rugged, former prison island off the northwestern tip of Sardinia as the flight enters Sardinian airspace.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the plane or on the opposite side, providing clear, shadow-rich views of the Alpine relief. It also offers a better view of the Mediterranean horizon and the wilder, more rugged western coastline of Corsica.
