LIN → REG
Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Reggio Calabria Airport (Reggio Calabria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular journey along the Tyrrhenian coastline, featuring the Tuscan Archipelago, the Amalfi Coast, and an iconic approach past the Aeolian Islands toward the Strait of Messina and Mount Etna.
Tuscan Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of Elba, Giglio, and Montecristo islands floating in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Amalfi Coast & Capri
Spot the Faraglioni rocks of Capri and the colorful vertical towns of Positano and Amalfi.
Aeolian Islands
The perfect cone of Stromboli is often visible, frequently trailing a plume of volcanic smoke.
Strait of Messina
The narrow passage separating mainland Italy from Sicily, showcasing heavy maritime traffic.
Mount Etna
Europe's tallest active volcano dominates the horizon to the southwest during the final descent.
Reggio Waterfront
The 'most beautiful kilometer in Italy' is visible just before touchdown at REG airport.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the sea. About 50 minutes into the flight, look specifically for the smoking cone of Stromboli. On the final approach into REG, keep your camera ready for the massive silhouette of Mount Etna across the water.
Milan Skyline
Immediately after takeoff, view the skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district and the iconic Duomo.
Apennine Mountains
A continuous view of the rugged spine of Italy stretching from Emilia-Romagna through Tuscany.
Mount Vesuvius
A distant but clear view of the massive crater overlooking the Bay of Naples.
Sila National Park
The 'Green Heart of Calabria' featuring dense pine forests and high-altitude lakes.
Ionian Coastline
Views of the crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches as the plane descends into the tip of the boot.
Opt for early morning flights to see the sunrise illuminating the peaks of the Apennines. During winter, the snow-capped Sila mountains offer a stunning contrast against the blue Mediterranean sky.
