Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Swiss and Italian Alps, the stunning Northern Italian lakes, and a dramatic aerial perspective of Corsica's rugged coastline before landing in Sardinia.
Swiss-Italian Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe, including glaciers and dramatic ridges.
Northern Italian Lakes
Glacial lakes like Como or Maggiore often appear as brilliant blue jewels tucked into the mountain foothills.
Corsica
A full-length view of the rugged French island, known for its mountainous interior and white sandy coves.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow, turquoise channel separating Corsica and Sardinia, featuring dramatic limestone cliffs.
Gulf of Asinara
The northwest coast of Sardinia with its crystal clear waters and the protected island of Asinara.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the right side for flights arriving in the afternoon. The sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Alps and Corsica perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the Alps, and again 20 minutes before landing for the Corsican coastline and the approach into Cagliari over the wetlands.
Krakow and Southern Poland
Aerial views of the Vistula river and the historic urban sprawl of southern Poland's major cities.
Austrian Alps
The eastern reaches of the Alpine range featuring jagged limestone peaks and deep green valleys.
Rome and Central Italy
On clear days, the distant Italian capital and the central Apennine mountain range are visible to the east.
Tyrrhenian Sea
The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean as the flight departs the mainland for the final leg to Sardinia.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the Italian coastline as you leave the mainland; in the evening, the moon rise over the Tyrrhenian Sea can be spectacular. During winter, the snow-covered Apennines provide a beautiful contrast against the blue sea.
