Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of coastal vistas, including the departure from Gran Canaria, the Spanish Levant, and a front-row seat to the French and Italian Rivieras as you approach Pisa.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐ŸŒ‹

Gran Canaria Volcanics

Dramatic views of the northern coastline and the rugged, mountainous interior of the island immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Spanish Levante

Clear views of the Mediterranean coastline of Spain, potentially passing over or near Valencia and the Ebro Delta.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Pyrenees

On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the mountain range dividing Spain and France are visible to the north.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

French Riviera

Breathtaking views of the Cรดte d'Azur, including the cities of Cannes and Nice, as the plane transits the Gulf of Lion.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Ligurian Coast

A stunning perspective of the Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera during the final descent into Tuscany.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and photography of the European coastline. Watch for the dramatic shift from the deep blue of the Mediterranean to the turquoise shallows of the Italian shore during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Eastern Canary Islands

Depending on the departure path, you may see the arid, golden landscapes of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote to the east.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Moroccan Coastline

Distant views of the African continent and the Atlas Mountains if the flight path follows the Moroccan shoreline.

๐ŸŒŠ

The Balearic Islands

Excellent views of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca as the flight crosses the western Mediterranean.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Corsica

The rugged, mountainous interior and jagged coastline of the French island are often visible in high detail.

๐Ÿข

Tuscan Archipelago

Views of Elba Island and the smaller islands of the archipelago just before reaching the Italian mainland.

The right side is ideal for island spotting, particularly the Balearics and Corsica. During afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare while over the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Leaning Tower of Pisa just before touchdown if the aircraft approaches from the south.
