Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Western Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc, and provides a front-row seat to the stunning coastlines of Corsica and Sardinia before the iconic approach over the Egadi Islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

The Vosges Mountains

Views across the Rhine valley toward the rounded peaks of eastern France shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Mont Blanc & Matterhorn

The highest peaks of Europe are often visible to the southwest during the alpine crossing.

🏝️

Corsica and Sardinia

Detailed views of the rugged 'Cap Corse' and the turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Deep blue maritime vistas as the flight paths cross the open Mediterranean toward Trapani.

🛥️

Egadi Islands

Breath-taking views of Levanzo and Favignana during the final descent into Birgi airport.

Choose the right side for the most dramatic alpine scenery and island views. During landing at TPS, the plane often maneuvers over the Egadi Islands, offering incredible photo opportunities of the turquoise sea. Use a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion of the mountain views.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

The Black Forest

Immediately after departure from FKB, look down at the dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Spectacular views of the Jungfrau region and the glaciated peaks of Central Switzerland.

🏙️

Milan & Po Valley

Aerial perspective of Italy's industrial heartland and the sprawling Milanese metropolitan area.

🏖️

Tuscan Archipelago

Distant views of Elba Island and the rugged coastline of the Maremma region.

🌋

Northern Sicily

The approach provides views of the Tyrrhenian coastline and the mountainous interior of Sicily.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the Italian mainland and the Apennine range. Watch for the silhouette of Mount Etna in the far distance as you descend toward Sicily if the air is exceptionally clear.
