LINCIY

Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Comiso Airport (Comiso)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of volcanic landmarks, including a potential view of Vesuvius and a spectacular close-up of Mount Etna during the descent into Sicily.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Milan Skyline

Aerial views of the Duomo and the Porta Nuova skyscrapers immediately after departing Linate.

🏔️

Northern Apennines

The rugged ridge of the Emilia-Romagna and Tuscan mountains as you head south.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

On clear days, the iconic silhouette of the volcano near Naples is visible as you track along the coast.

🏝️

Aeolian Islands

Look for the volcanic cones of Stromboli and Vulcano rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🔥

Mount Etna

The absolute highlight; the massive, often smoking volcano dominates the view during the approach to Comiso.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Etna, which is most dramatic during morning flights when the sun illuminates its eastern slopes. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing. In winter, the snow-capped peak contrasts beautifully with the Mediterranean blue.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Ligurian Coast

Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the Italian Riviera and the Gulf of Genoa.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Views of the islands of Elba, Capraia, and Montecristo dotting the blue Tyrrhenian waters.

🏛️

Lazio Coastline

The long sandy stretches of the Roman coast and the mouth of the Tiber river.

🌾

Hyblaean Plateau

During final approach, view the iconic stone-walled fields and carob trees of the Ragusa province.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the sea. It provides a more tranquil landscape of islands and open water compared to the dramatic volcanic terrain of the left. Watch for the distinct 'dry stone walls' of the Sicilian landscape just before touchdown.
