During takeoff, passengers on the right side will enjoy panoramic views of the island's rugged northern coastline and the town of Lampedusa as the aircraft climbs away from the limestone cliffs.
The right side offers a superior experience, particularly for the iconic approach into Venice where the historic center and the lagoon are most visible, alongside landmarks of central Sicily and the Italian mainland.
The left side is superior for this route primarily due to the approach into Catania, which often offers an unparalleled view of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano, along with the rugged interior of Sicily.
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.
