Which side of the plane to sit from Malta International Airport (Malta) to Treviso-Sant'Angelo Airport (Treviso)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an elite viewing experience, featuring a close pass by Mount Etna in Sicily and a spectacular aerial panorama of Venice and its lagoon during the approach into Treviso.
Mount Etna
Unrivaled views of Europe's most active volcano, often trailing smoke, visible shortly after takeoff.
Strait of Messina
The narrow water passage separating Sicily from the Italian mainland (Calabria).
Adriatic Coast
The turquoise shoreline and white cliffs of the Conero Regional Park near Ancona.
Venice Lagoon
A breathtaking bird's-eye view of the historic center of Venice, the Grand Canal, and the surrounding islands.
Dolomite Horizon
The jagged, pale peaks of the Dolomites appearing on the northern horizon during the final approach.
For the most iconic view of the trip, ensure you are on the right side to see Venice's historic center. For photography, morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating Mount Etna and the Venetian coastline. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the lagoon.
Central Sicily
Aerial views of the rugged, mountainous interior of Sicily shortly after departure from Malta.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Glimpses of the deep blue waters and the distant Aeolian Islands if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Central Apennines
The snow-capped peaks of the 'backbone of Italy' including the Gran Sasso massif.
Po Valley
The intricate geometric patterns of Northern Italy's agricultural heartland during the initial descent.
The left side is preferable for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea. It also offers a better perspective of the vast Po Valley plains and the distant Western Alps as the plane begins its descent into the Treviso region.
