Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Figari Sud-Corse Airport (Figari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic exit from mainland France, featuring the iconic Calanques and the French Riviera before crossing the sea to the rugged Corsican interior.
Search flights from MRS to FSC
Marseille Waterfront
Aerial views of the Vieux Port and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde immediately after departure.
Calanques National Park
Spectacular white limestone cliffs and narrow turquoise inlets stretching from Marseille to Cassis.
French Riviera Coastline
A panoramic view of the Var coastline, including the naval port of Toulon and the golden beaches of Hyères.
Corsican High Peaks
As you approach the island, the dramatic granite mountains of the Corsican interior dominate the horizon.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare over the Mediterranean. During departure from MRS, look out immediately for the Frioul archipelago. This side is also better for seeing the island's transition from the sea to the high mountains during the descent into Figari.

Pelagos Sanctuary
The vast expanse of the Mediterranean sea, known for sightings of fin whales and dolphins from the air.
Sanguinaires Islands
Distant views of the rocky islets near Ajaccio if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
Cliffs of Bonifacio
The famous vertical white limestone cliffs at the southern tip of Corsica visible during the final approach pattern.
Golfe de Valinco
Clear views of the coastline around Propriano and the crystal-clear waters of southern bays.
The right side is prime for the final descent. If the aircraft loops south before landing at FSC, you will get an unrivaled view of Bonifacio sitting atop its cliffs. Best viewed in the late afternoon when the limestone is illuminated by the setting sun. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns for the final approach.
