Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it provides front-row seats to the dramatic western coastline of Corsica and the iconic 'Sleeping Giant' limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia during the final approach into Alghero.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Western Alps

Distant but clear views of the Monviso and the Piedmontese Alps reflecting on the horizon during the initial climb.

🏖️

Italian Riviera

A sweeping view of the 'Riviera di Ponente' coastline stretching from Genoa toward the French border.

🚤

Scandola Nature Reserve

A UNESCO World Heritage site visible on the Corsican coast, famous for its red volcanic cliffs and turquoise water.

🏞️

Gulf of Porto

The dramatic Calanques de Piana, where jagged red rocks meet the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea.

🗿

Capo Caccia

The legendary 'Sleeping Giant' limestone promontory that marks the entrance to the bay of Alghero during landing.

Book a window on the right for spectacular sunset views over the Ligurian Sea on evening flights. This side is essential for seeing the most famous landmarks of Northwest Sardinia, specifically the massive cliffs housing Neptune's Grotto as the plane turns for its final approach into Fertilia Airport.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Milan Urban Landscape

Bird's-eye view of the Lombard capital and the sprawling Po Valley immediately after departure from Linate.

🏔️

Ligurian Apennines

Aerial transit over the rugged green ridges that divide the northern plains from the Mediterranean coast.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

On clear days, views of Elba and Capraia islands appear as dark silhouettes in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

⛰️

Central Corsican Massifs

A view of the high-altitude interior of Corsica, often featuring snow-capped peaks like Monte Cinto.

🌊

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow, turquoise channel separating the southern tip of Corsica from the northern coast of Sardinia.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a more expansive view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the mountainous spine of Corsica. During the descent, you may catch glimpses of the Costa Smeralda in the far distance to the east.
