LMP → PMO
Which side of the plane to sit from Lampedusa Airport (Lampedusa) to Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the volcanic island of Linosa shortly after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the Sicilian landmass and Palermo's urban sprawl during the descent.
Search flights from LMP to PMO
Linosa Island
A striking volcanic island with black beaches and three distinct craters visible about 10-15 minutes into the flight.
Southern Sicilian Coast
The first glimpse of the main island of Sicily, featuring the white marl cliffs near Porto Empedocle.
Sicani Mountains
The rugged, rolling limestone peaks of central-western Sicily as the flight crosses the island's interior.
Palermo Urban Area
A panoramic view of the Sicilian capital nestled between the mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Monte Pellegrino
The massive limestone promontory that Goethe called 'the most beautiful headland in the world'.
The right side is highly recommended for spotting Linosa. Try to book a morning flight for the best lighting on the Sicilian coast. During the approach to PMO, look for the 'Conca d'Oro' valley where Palermo is situated. If the plane lands from the south, you will get an incredible view of the city center.

Tabaccara Bay
Aerial view of Lampedusa's famous 'flying boats' bay with crystal clear turquoise waters.
Strait of Sicily
Deep blue Mediterranean waters frequently dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Golfo di Castellammare
A wide, scenic bay on the northern coast of Sicily visible during the final descent phase.
Isola delle Femmine
A small, protected islet with a 16th-century watchtower located just off the coast near the airport.
Sit on the left if you want a clear view of the open sea and the rugged western cliffs of Sicily upon arrival. This side is better during afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun coming from the west.
