HHN โ AHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, the iconic curve of the French Riviera, and a dramatic final approach past the limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps often towers visibly to the west as you cross Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Lรฉman visible between the Jura and the Alps.
French Riviera
Glittering views of Nice, Cannes, and the azure waters of the Cรดte d'Azur.
Western Corsican Coast
Dramatic granite cliffs and secluded red-rock gulfs like Porto and Piana.
Capo Caccia
Massive limestone headland near Alghero, home to Neptune's Grotto, visible during landing.
Choose the right side for the most iconic Alpine landmarks. During the final approach into Alghero (Runway 20), this side offers a spectacular view of the 'Sleeping Giant' rock formation at Capo Caccia. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photos of the French and Corsican coasts.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald visible shortly after takeoff from Hahn.
Central Swiss Alps
Glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the Berner Oberland region during the mid-flight cruise.
Genoa & Ligurian Coast
The bustling Italian port city and the rugged coastline of the Italian Riviera.
Eastern Corsica
Panoramic views of the rugged spine of Corsica and its eastern coastal plains.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow, turquoise channel separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a better perspective of the Italian coastline and the complex geography of the Bonifacio Strait during the descent.
