Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Comiso Airport (Comiso)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic landscapes, including the heart of the Swiss Alps, the historic cityscapes of central Italy, and a spectacular close-up of Mount Etna during the descent into Sicily.

Rhine Valley

Picturesque views of the winding Rhine River and the lush vineyards of the German wine regions shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

A breathtaking panorama of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland and central Swiss peaks during the first hour of flight.

🌆

Florence and Tuscany

Aerial perspectives of the Renaissance capital and the rolling, cypress-lined hills of the Tuscan countryside.

Rome and the Tiber

Distance views of the Eternal City's landmarks and the winding path of the Tiber River as you head south.

Aeolian Islands

The volcanic chain including Stromboli and Vulcano rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea as you approach Sicily.

🔥

Mount Etna

The star attraction; Europe's highest active volcano is usually visible on the left during the descent into Comiso.

Sit on the left for the most iconic landmarks. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps and the Sicilian coast perfectly. Watch for Etna approximately 15-20 minutes before landing; its plume of smoke is a frequent sight.
