Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Comiso Airport (Comiso)?
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.
The Black Forest
Deep green canopy of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany visible shortly after departure.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, glinting in the sunlight.
Po Valley
The patchwork of agricultural fields and the industrial heartland of Northern Italy.
Tyrrhenian Coast
Extensive views of the Italian coastline and the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Southern Sicily
Golden beaches and the limestone cliffs of the Ragusa region during the final approach to Comiso.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. This side also provides a clearer view of the Lake Constance region and the rugged coastline of Calabria.
