Which side of the plane to sit from Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic Alpine peaks and a spectacular, prolonged view of the rugged western coastline of Corsica.
Upper Rhine Valley
The fertile plain between the Black Forest and the French Vosges mountains.
Valais Alps
Breathtaking views of the Matterhorn and the high peaks of the Pennine Alps.
Ligurian Coast
Where the mountains meet the Mediterranean near Genoa and the Italian Riviera.
Corsica's West Coast
Dramatic granite cliffs, the Calanques de Piana, and the wild, mountainous interior of the island.
Western Sardinia
The rugged, windswept coastline of Sardinia during the descent into Cagliari.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. Sit here to see the Matterhorn during the Alpine crossing. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can create glare but provides stunning golden hour lighting on the Corsican cliffs. Ensure your window is clean to capture the turquoise bays of western Corsica.
Black Forest (Schwarzwald)
Dense evergreen canopies and rolling hills immediately south of the airport.
Central Swiss Alps
Panoramic views of the peaks surrounding Lake Lucerne and the Gotthard Pass.
Milan & Po Valley
The sprawling urban landscape of Lombardy and the agricultural grid of northern Italy.
Elba & Tuscan Archipelago
A clear view of Napoleon's exile island and the smaller gems of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Gulf of Cagliari
The sweeping curve of the Sardinian coast as the plane turns for its final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the Apennines. It is also the better side for spotting the Italian mainland's coastline before the flight heads out over the open sea towards Sardinia. Keep an eye out for the Tuscan islands roughly 45 minutes into the flight.
