Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the Italian peninsula, including a broader view of the central Alps and a chance to spot the Tyrrhenian coastline and Mount Vesuvius before descending into Sicily.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Swiss & Italian Alps

Breathtaking views of the high-altitude glaciers and jagged peaks of the central alpine range.

🏙️

Eternal City of Rome

On clear days, the sprawl of Rome and the distinct dome of St. Peter's Basilica can be spotted inland.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

As the flight heads south over the Tyrrhenian Sea, the iconic silhouette of the Naples volcano is often visible.

🏖️

Amalfi Coastline

Aerial perspectives of the rugged, colorful cliffs of the Sorrentine Peninsula.

🌊

Ustica Island

A small volcanic island appearing as a lone black pearl in the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea just north of Sicily.

Sit on the left for the most iconic Italian landmarks. The best lighting occurs on morning flights when the sun is in the east, illuminating the Italian coast. Keep your camera ready about 80-90 minutes after takeoff for the Alpine crossing.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🗼

Parisian Basin

Clear views of the French countryside and occasionally the outer suburbs of Paris.

⛰️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe often dominates the horizon to the west during the alpine transit.

🏝️

Corsica & Sardinia

Dramatic views of the mountainous coastlines of these two Mediterranean islands.

🛶

Egadi Islands

Stunning views of Favignana and Levanzo set in turquoise waters during the final approach to Trapani.

🧂

Trapani Salt Pans

The geometric, colorful salt evaporation ponds near the airport are clearly visible just before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset on late afternoon flights over the Mediterranean. During the final descent into TPS, look out for the shimmering turquoise waters of the Egadi Islands, which are best viewed from this side.
