Which side of the plane to sit from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (Genoa) to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean vistas, the right side provides a front-row seat to the rugged beauty of Corsica and the spectacular turquoise lagoons of the Maddalena Archipelago during the descent into Olbia.

Riviera di Ponente
Views of the western Ligurian coastline stretching towards Sanremo as the aircraft gains altitude over the sea.
Cap Corse
The northern 'finger' of Corsica, featuring mountainous ridges that drop vertically into the Mediterranean blue.
Corsican Highlands
The dramatic, snow-capped peaks of central Corsica are visible as you fly parallel to the island's eastern coast.
Maddalena Archipelago
An incredible aerial view of the scattered islands and shallow turquoise waters between Corsica and Sardinia.
Porto Cervo Coastline
Direct views of the ultra-luxury marinas and vibrant blue bays of the Emerald Coast during the descent.
The right side is the prime choice for geography enthusiasts. Choose this side for afternoon flights to get the best lighting on the Corsican mountains. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the Strait of Bonifacio for some of the best water colors in Europe.

Port of Genoa
A sweeping view of Italy's largest commercial seaport and the dense urban landscape of the city immediately after takeoff.
Tuscan Archipelago
Distant but clear views of Capraia and the northern tip of Elba Island as the plane crosses the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Isola di Tavolara
The massive, 500-meter high limestone plateau rising abruptly from the sea, an iconic landmark of the Olbia Gulf.
Costa Smeralda North
Glimpses of the exclusive resorts and hidden coves of the northern Sardinian coastline during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The left side is particularly rewarding during the final turn into Olbia, as it often aligns perfectly with the dramatic silhouette of Tavolara Island.
