Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the clear winner for this route, offering a front-row seat to the Italian Riviera and the stunning turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda during the final descent into Olbia.
Rhine-Main Region
Aerial views of the urban landscape of Frankfurt and the confluence of the Rhine and Main rivers.
Central Alpine Range
Dramatic vistas of the snow-capped Swiss Alps, including the peaks of the Grisons and Engadin regions.
Italian Riviera
The rugged coastline of Liguria, featuring views of La Spezia and the colorful villages of Cinque Terre.
Costa Smeralda
The final approach provides a breathtaking look at the emerald waters and luxury villas of northern Sardinia.
For the best photography, choose a seat well forward of the wing to capture the Costa Smeralda without obstruction. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, glare-free views of the Sardinian coastline.
The Black Forest
Dense green canopies and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald region in Southern Germany.
Valais Alps
Distant views of iconic peaks like the Matterhorn and the Mont Blanc massif to the west.
Port of Genoa
A bird's-eye view of Italy's largest commercial seaport and the dense urban layout of Genoa.
Corsican Spine
The flight path runs parallel to the rugged, mountainous interior of the island of Corsica.
Choose the right side if you are a fan of high mountain peaks; while distant, the Matterhorn's silhouette is often visible. During afternoon flights, be prepared for more sunlight intensity on this side of the cabin.
