MUC → CAG
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Lake Garda and the rugged eastern coastline of Corsica, providing a more diverse mix of alpine and maritime scenery.
Central Alps
Dramatic views of the glacier-capped peaks near the Austro-Italian border shortly after takeoff.
Lake Garda
The most prominent landmark on this route; look for the distinct narrow northern tip and wide southern basin.
Corsica
Stunning views of the mountainous French island, often passing very close to its eastern shoreline.
Sardinian Coastline
Rugged cliffs and secluded turquoise coves of northern and central Sardinia as you approach the destination.
Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago is frequently visible mid-flight.
The right side is unbeatable for seeing Lake Garda, which usually appears about 30 minutes into the flight. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare on this side; morning is the best time for photography.
Dolomites
View the iconic jagged limestone peaks of the South Tyrol region in the distance.
Florence & Tuscany
The rolling hills of the Chianti region and the dense urban sprawl of Florence appear as you cross the Apennines.
Rome (Distant)
On clear days, the urban extent of the Italian capital is visible to the east before heading out over the sea.
Golfo degli Angeli
Aerial view of the 'Bay of Angels' and the Cagliari harbor during the final descent.
Po River
The winding path of Italy's longest river as it snakes through the fertile northern plains.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the plane or on the opposite side. This side is better for spotting the unique rock formations of the Eastern Alps.
