Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Pescara International Airport (Pescara)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged French Riviera, the northern tip of Corsica, and the dramatic snowy peaks of the Gran Sasso massif during the descent into Pescara.
Costa Brava Coastline
Dramatic rocky coves and turquoise waters of the Spanish coast immediately after departure from Girona.
The French Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-capped southern Alps are visible to the north while transiting the Mediterranean.
Cap Corse
The sharp northern peninsula of Corsica, known as 'The Finger,' visible as the flight crosses toward Italy.
Elba Island
Views of the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peaks of the Apennines, including Corno Grande, dominating the landscape as you approach Abruzzo.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct southern sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the Corsican coastline. During the final descent, the Gran Sasso mountain range provides a spectacular backdrop as the plane lowers toward the Adriatic coast.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue expanses of the Mediterranean stretching toward the Balearic Islands shortly after takeoff.
Central Corsica
Rugged, mountainous interior of the island of Corsica visible across the horizon.
Roman Coastline
The Tyrrhenian coast of Lazio and views near the mouth of the Tiber River as the flight enters Italian airspace.
Abruzzo National Parks
Densely forested valleys and limestone plateaus of central Italy's wilderness areas.
Pescara Cityfront
The urban sprawl of Pescara and its long sandy beaches as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. You will get a broad view of the Italian peninsula's 'waist' as you cross from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic. Watch for the change from coastal plains to the deep green of the Maiella massif.
