Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Costa Brava during departure and the breathtaking Aegadian Islands and Mount Erice during the descent into Sicily.
Costa Brava Coastline
Rugged cliffs and hidden turquoise coves of the Catalan coast immediately after takeoff from Girona.
Pyrenees Range
Distant, snow-capped views of the high Pyrenees mountains to the North-Northwest during the initial climb.
Aegadian Islands
Stunning aerial vistas of Levanzo and the crystal-clear waters surrounding the archipelago during the descent.
Mount Erice
The iconic medieval town perched on a cliff overlooking Trapani, visible just before the final touchdown.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast blue expanses with visible shipping lanes and ferry routes connecting Italy and Spain.
Choose the left side for the most scenic approach. If the plane lands from the North, you will get a perfect view of the Aegadian Islands. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Sicilian coast.
Barcelona Silhouette
Distant views of the Barcelona skyline and the iconic Tibidabo hill shortly after takeoff.
Balearic Islands
Clear sightings of Menorca and potentially Mallorca as the flight path crosses the central Mediterranean.
Marsala Salt Pans
Historic salt evaporation ponds with traditional windmills visible near the airport perimeter.
Stagnone Lagoon
The shallow, turquoise lagoon and the ancient Phoenician island of Mozia just south of the runway.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Balearic Islands mid-flight. During the final approach, look for the unique pink and white patches of the salt pans. Morning flights are best for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the Mediterranean sun in the afternoon.
