GVA → CAG
Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is favored for its unparalleled proximity to the Mont Blanc massif immediately after takeoff and a more consistent view of the Italian coastline and the stunning salt pans during the final approach into Cagliari.
