Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more dramatic crossing of the High Alps and typically provides views of the stunning Corsican coastline before the descent into Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Krakow Old Town

Immediate views of the Wawel Castle and the Vistula river if the wind requires a westward takeoff.

🏔️

Hohe Tauern Alps

Spectacular views of Austria's highest glaciated peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.

🍷

Tuscan Countryside

The rolling hills and distinctive agricultural patterns of the Tuscany region as you cross central Italy.

🏝️

Corsica

Clear views of the mountainous French island of Corsica to the west while flying south toward Sardinia.

🌊

Gulf of Cagliari

A beautiful approach over the Poetto beach and the Molentargius salt pans just before touchdown.

The right side is unbeatable for Alpine scenery, particularly the snow-capped Austrian peaks. During late afternoon flights, you will enjoy a stunning sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea. As you approach Sardinia, watch for the silhouette of Corsica to the west; it is often the highlight of the journey.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Tatra Mountains

Distant views of the jagged peaks marking the border between Poland and Slovakia shortly after departure.

🌊

Venice Lagoon

Aerial perspective of the Adriatic coast and the intricate network of islands forming the Venetian lagoon.

⛰️

Central Apennines

The rugged spine of the Italian peninsula, featuring the Gran Sasso massif if the flight path stays inland.

🏛️

Lazio Coastline

Views of the Tyrrhenian Sea meeting the Italian mainland, often passing near the outskirts of Rome.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for spotting the unique emerald shapes of the Adriatic lagoons. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the transition from the Alps to the Mediterranean coast.
