Which side of the plane to sit from Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, starting with the heart of the Swiss Alps and culminating in a breathtaking low-altitude approach over the turquoise waters and white cliffs of the Egadi Islands.
Lake Constance
A distant view of the Bodensee to the west during the initial climb phase.
Swiss High Alps
Spectacular transit over the snow-capped Bernese or Glarus Alps, offering deep valley views.
Ligurian Coast
Views of the Gulf of Genoa and the dramatic cliffs of the Italian Riviera.
Egadi Islands
The highlight of the trip: stunning views of Favignana and Levanzo during the final descent.
Trapani Salt Pans
The historic and colorful salt evaporation ponds visible just moments before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the scenic arrival at Trapani-Birgi. The flight path often turns over the Egadi Islands, providing a stunning perspective of the crystal-clear water. For evening flights, this side also offers magnificent sunset views over the sea.
Bavarian Alps
Immediate views of the jagged peaks south of Memmingen shortly after takeoff.
Italian Lakes
Potential views of Lake Como or Lake Garda depending on the specific flight corridor over Lombardy.
Tuscan Archipelago
Excellent vantage point for seeing the island of Elba and the rugged coastline of mainland Tuscany.
Rome & Latium
On clear days, the distant sprawl of the Eternal City may be visible to the east.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as you head south toward Sicily.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side is better for spotting the mainland Italian coast and the volcanic Aeolian Islands in the distance as you approach Sicily.
