Which side of the plane to sit from Friedrichshafen Airport (Friedrichshafen) to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the Right Side provides a superior perspective of the Ligurian coastline, the entire length of Corsica's rugged interior, and the turquoise waters of the Maddalena Archipelago during the descent into Olbia.
Mainau Island
The famous Flower Island is visible shortly after takeoff from Friedrichshafen.
Bernese Oberland
Distant views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks to the southwest.
Italian Riviera
The rugged coastline of Liguria and the major port city of Genoa.
Corsican Spine
A spectacular view of the high granite mountains running through the center of Corsica.
Costa Smeralda
The world-famous Emerald Coast with its crystal-clear bays and luxury villas.
Maddalena Archipelago
A cluster of turquoise lagoons and pink granite islands between Corsica and Sardinia.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal views and island spotting. During the descent, look for the turquoise waters of the Maddalena Archipelago. On clear days, you can clearly see the white cliffs of Bonifacio separating Corsica from Sardinia. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Corsican mountains.
Lake Constance
Aerial views of the Rhine Delta and the eastern Austrian shores of the Bodensee.
Rhaetian Alps
Fly over the dramatic, jagged peaks of the Graubünden region in Switzerland.
Po Valley
The sprawling agricultural plains of Northern Italy and the city of Piacenza.
Elba Island
Spot the historic island of Napoleon's exile in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the south.
Tavolara Island
A massive limestone massif rising 500 meters out of the sea on final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the Alpine peaks. Watch for the massive Tavolara limestone block on the final approach, which is one of the most iconic landmarks of the Gallura region. This side is also better for spotting the Tuscan archipelago if the flight path tracks further east.
