Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

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.
