Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular and continuous view of the Italian Alps and the Dolomites, providing a dramatic contrast between the flat Po Valley and the towering northern peaks.
Milan Skyline
Immediately after takeoff from Linate, enjoy views of the Unicredit Tower and the modern CityLife district to the northwest.
Lake Garda
Spot the southern shores of Italy's largest lake, with the Sirmione peninsula reaching into the blue water.
The Dolomites
The UNESCO-listed pale peaks of the Dolomites are visible on the horizon, especially striking during winter months.
Verona
Look for the distinctive loop of the Adige River as it flows through the historic center of Verona.
Julian Alps
As you begin your descent toward Trieste, the rugged Julian Alps near the Slovenian border dominate the landscape.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. For the best photography of the Alps, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Winter flights provide the best contrast with snow-covered peaks.
Po River Meanders
Watch the serpentine loops and fertile floodplains of Italy's longest river as it flows toward the Adriatic.
Venetian Lagoon
A major highlight; on clear days, you can see the historic center of Venice and its surrounding islands like Burano and Murano.
Adriatic Coastline
The sandy beaches of Jesolo and Bibione stretch out as the plane follows the coastline toward Friuli.
Grado Lagoon
The intricate network of canals and small islands of the Marano and Grado lagoons are visible just before landing.
Gulf of Trieste
The final approach often passes over the blue waters of the gulf, offering views of the cargo ships and the Istrian Peninsula in the distance.
The right side is essential if you want to see Venice. Try to book a window seat for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the Venetian Lagoon and the coastline perfectly. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Lido di Venezia.
